Two words: capital levy. Hmmm. That trillion in untaxed overseas profits that Trump just let people put into share-buy-backs on concessionary terms: that would have gone quite a way toward paying for the Cheney-Bush wars. Yeah, I know Bushlet told us to go shopping, that would liven up the economy and presumably repair all the damage from 9/11. How did that work out, GOPpies?

@张扬-r6o What I meant to say, in a critical aside, was a.) the main reason the American Federal government's fiscal situation is a mess is that Cheney and Bush told a lot of lies about finance. These were quite apart from the passel of lies and delusions they spread about the reasons for fighting that particular set of wars. b.) My "9/11" is only a reference to the bin Laden gang's attack on New York. That's all. Nothing subtle. My main point was that vast un-taxed profits are sitting in account books under the notional labels. These may be country names, company names, dates and times, blah-blah-blah. They add up to claiming that the "money" is "abroad." For my next encore, I could tell you about the Conservative party's Goods and Services Tax. This was a reform in the 1970s which for a while gave Canada the best tax system in the world. Other Conservatives later screwed it up...
