The only reasonable solution is something along the line of the Fair Tax that will never ever be passed. I don't see any internal tax solution that would be acceptable to the American people. We know that the top income earners pay the vast share of the taxes. Congress has continued to provide tax credits and lowered rates for the rest.

Of the top 12 companies in the world that have a market capitalization of one trillion dollars or more not one is in the EU. Nine are in the USA.
