exactly..we are paying the price for his "surplus" right now..starts from year 2000..do you understand where the surplus come from? from taxing more business.why did they moved overseas?
not true. while the US has one of the highest statutory tax rates for corporations among advanced nations the effective tax rate after deductions is quite average the surplus was one of the best things that happened in the US since the 2nd war. it makes for as sound currency and good government. unfortunately it was pissed away by Bush in the bailouts for the crony capitalists.
