The only way to keep these corporations in America or to bring them back is to significantly lower corporate tax rates. But that is against everything liberals stand for.

US corporate tax rates the primary cause for companies moving overseas

The US corporate tax rate has become a new cause for companies to move overseas to avoid what is the largest tax burden in the industrialized world. At 35%, the US tax rate on companies and businesses is nearly triple the rates in some places, and well above the tax requirements of countries such as Ireland and Switzerland.

In an expose on March 27th by CBS's 60 Minutes, hundreds of companies, and over $1.1 trillion dollars, are now being kept overseas providing nothing to the US economy due to stringent tax laws and regulations which make it difficult to invest, create new jobs, and find profitability if incorporated in America.

Cisco alone has moved eight different companies to Ireland, where the tax rate is at 12.5%. On top of this, google, Facebook, and several other technical firms employ over 100,000 workers in Ireland, which they might otherwise employ in the US if the tax code was changed or adjusted.

While many companies moved to China, India, and other places around the world for cheaper labor, one of the main reasons for the move offshore was the draconian tax rates the US government imposes on businesses headquartered domestically. In an poll taken in January on the Fair Tax, over 500 companies said they would instantly move back to the United States if this tax structure were implemented in the economy.

No. Those corporations also want child labor laws repealed, unions gone, and all safety and environmental regulations removed so they can crap all over the USA like they do in other countries with their minimally-paid employees and lack of safety/compliance issues earning them record profits.

Poor, poor huge corporations! My heart bleeds for them ....

Demand is up, population is up, prices are up (the $ is worth crap). Record profits is a bunch of crap. 10% is no record, nobody is making more than that, the $ numbers are higher for all the reasons stated above. Records profits is something they are force feeding people to make businesses look bad. Aside from GE of course who live safely under the Obrella while the poop falls on those all around them. All the others pay.

Demand for what is up?

What has been the rate of inflation for the past five years?

Demand for gas. Whenever anyone mentions "record profits" they are talking Exxon. Higher revenue = higher profit $ at the same or even lower % of revenue.
It is just basic math, which is a handicap of our government. That is the reason for the most complex tax code imaginable. Glad your rates are down though, you must have many loopholes available.

Yes oil, that's where gas comes from.

An excellent accountant is a fantastic way to get out of "paying your share" or "contributing to the greater good." Good for you, you selfish business owning evil LLC or S Corp.

Maybe that's why the GOP is secretly against education. Maybe they can shutter enough schools, fire all the union teachers and round up the kids to work them long hours for low wages?

Think about it kids are young so they can work more hours, dont get serious ilnesses like adults do and are a long way from pensions!

Yes major corporations are all looking to repeal child labor laws.

You are awfully proud of your ignorance. But it makes you look rather silly.

Tell me, what do you think about the Republican state rep child labor law change proposal in Missouri prohibiting employment of children under 13, and also that children less than 13 can work in mines, work with hazardous equipment, etc?

Or the GOP rep in Georgia, that wants children to be allowed to work increased hours, and until 11pm?

Or the two bills in House Committee, GOP-sponsored?

Geesh, do you guys pay no attention at all?

Is it really easier to pretend that because you don't see the elephant, no creature such as an elephant could possibly exist?
