Oh I dont blame the corporations for cheating as they do, we allow it.
Since the government is owned by corporations there isnt much to stop them either.
If I were in control and running the joint then I would work like this..if a corporation wants to export production and manufacturing, yet keep the benefit of domestic executive HQ's, then I would tax their products as imports..just as we tax other foreign produced goods. If they fall below a very low threshold of foreign vs domestic production and manufacturing then they are treated as a foreign company as to the IMPORTS they export and re-import to the country.
If you are going to tax shoes from Germany as an import, you tax shoes made in China and imported to Washington sold as Nike.
If the corporation gets ticked off and wants to leave, feel free to leave and import your goods to us as a foreign entity.
Until you make it a disincentive to export, it will continue.
I dont agree with the zero tax rate on corporations either, especially in the face of record corporate profits..why do they NEED to avoid taxation? If anything the corporation entity gains more advantage from our national infrastructure and government than individuals do. If anything, corporations should be taxed MORE, just close the loopholes, stop the freebies and tax at a reasonable rate versus taxing at a high rate and not collecting any revenues.

Who should pay for the motor vehicle tax to keep up roads and services, the people who own cars or the ones who do not?
Those who gain more should pay more, especially if those who are earning more (corporations) are earning MUCH more, while those who are owned by the corporations are earning much less.
