clo,

re: "We need to fix the "core problem" to have a strong economy."

Agreed! The "core problem" is DEBT. Since all of the income of the top 2 percent can't even end the deficit (not to mention that these individuals would shut down their businesses before agreeing to work for free), how do you propose to fix the core problem?

Decomp,

This isn't "speculation."
WHY would anyone trust them now, after their tactics have taken us to the brink?

We need to fix the "core problem" to have a strong economy. clo

In addition, firms are unlikely to invest the repatriated funds. Congress passed a similar repatriation tax holiday in 2004 and required firms to create domestic jobs or make new domestic investments to get the tax break. Nonetheless, the firms, on average, used the tax break to repurchase shares or pay dividends — not to increase investment.
