A lower tax rate? LOL they pay nothing now. The best way is to tax all imports heavily...like 300%. Do you think walmart would close up shop and leave the United States if the government asked them for an extra billion in taxes? What do you think Apple would do if the US forced them to pay tax for money they hide overseas? They need the American consumer and its time they start paying for the privileged to sell their goods and services here.
Giving a solar company a check is exactly the same as giving general electric a rebate. It's taking tax dollars from everyone and handing them to specific individuals...and in those cases...wealthy individuals who don't need the welfare.
It's a joke that raw materials are shipped from here to other countries where they are refined and turned into products that are then shipped back here for sale. If we want all the jobs back that go between digger and store clerk we need to penalize Anti-American companies that don't want to fully participate in the American way of life. If they want to build in China and hide money in Europe they can pack their bags and move there. And they can enjoy an extremely high import rate for the products they want us to buy.
