I mean that sounds more like a tax haven situation. Honestly to stop that I think countries should require companies meet their tax rate globally where they can deduct what they pay elsewhere.

Yes the money was moved out of the tax havens because it was preferable to have here after the top rates were reduced. That’s why it is considered to be a viable notion

See. to me. we became the tax haven.

That’s a fairly accurate reading of an unintended result of this.
