  1. The only problem that Ben does not see is this. Corporations, looking at building new factories, go to the state with the least tax. If they can't find that in the states, nor the US, they will go out of the US. That is how this works. I have seen Ohio lose several large factories over the tax rate, and they went to another state. Toyota cut a tax deal with West Virginia, and built there. Who cares if the state doesn't receive as much corporate tax, as that engine plant employs a huge number of West Virginians. The employees pay in their state tax, which is used on the states debts. If you do not have manufacturing, that will employ the multitudes, they can not pay any federal or state taxes, which also funds Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Trump has never mention "trickle down economics". He has only stated that he would tax imports more, pass laws about those trying to leave the US, and other things, to bring manufacturing back to the US.
