I can tell you that I would not set foot in a country with high taxes. The US has some special incentives which even nowadays make it attractive (honestly, the US is so rich, big and special that the tax rate does not matter too much in the

You think that there aren't good markets outside the US and that every business needs/wants to go global. If I want to become a millionaire, I can just stay within the EU and not touch the US at all. So my friends (and me included

We don't know about the side effects yet, but a 15% corporate tax would be the starting signal for some entrepreneurial friends of mine to found a company in the USA the second the bill has passed. There is no other big market with suc

As someone who loves rural USA and especially Texas, how could we spread the word better? How could we make it more attractive? Do you think there are other possibilities to revive it besides changing government policies? Let us brainstorm

So you would rather not let them create the 10 jobs (which, compared to many other countries, is quite much)? I mean, they do not only have to "create" them and leave empty, they have to find real working people for them. So even
