Is there anyone here who is enough of an expert to propose changes to the U.S. tax code that would actually get rid of all of the tricks that multinationals play to avoid taxes? Or knows of where to find such a thing. I have responded in subthreads to at least 3 people who think they are but curious if there is anyone out there with actual expertise on the topic.
My sense is that it's easy to feel that the solution to the problem is simple (like this xkcd: https://xkcd.com/793/ https://xkcd.com/793/) when in fact it is tremendously complicated: perhaps even intractable. It may be that it there is a sort of Godelian way of always finding a loophole given the emergent complexity of the interactions between the tax codes of ~200 different countries, many of which are incentivized to have a lax tax code to promote local job growth.
