Companies moving to Switzerland

[nelson]

Low tax economy attracts companies... no surprise here.

Will companies relocate from the USA to Switzerland? You bet? Will they take US jobs with them? Absolutely! Would I do the same? No doubt. Why pay huge tax rates - to fund massive bailouts for failed companies?

Switzerland has a very de-centralized tax authority, meaning individual regions are free to set their own tax rates. This is a formula much like the states'-rights vision originally laid out by the founders of the USA, and very unlike what exists in the USA now - a behemoth federal government throwing taxes around like it's going out of style.

Another example showing why raising tax rates does not increase revenues; you just make taxpayers take their business elsewhere.

I think you'll find BO killed the tax cuts for companys moving jobs over seas. It really hasn't been on the news but it there. :)

Remember when McCain was saying that US company's pay the second highest tax in the world.

I call BS

Dude, from your own link (nice link BTW) it shows the U.S. top tax rate as 35%. Next highest is 40%. There is nothing higher on that chart.

Where's the BS?
