Unfortunately, the whole "cutting taxes to remain competitive" thing is generally a canard; if you cut now, another desperate country will cut more. So once again, you're not "competitive."

Since the currencies and cost-of-living between countries is not at parity, simply cutting taxes without putting thought into the social repercussions is just short-sighted.

China doesn't care about the repercussions, but those of us in North America should.
