U.S. multinational corporations are hoarding an estimated $2 trillion"offshore" to take advantage of a loophole in our tax laws. At our 35 percent top federal corporate tax rate, that represents up to $700 billion in taxes owed but "deferred" because they are "offshore." This is not imaginary or future money; it is taxes owed on $2 trillion of profits these companies have already made. Who should get this money?
