In general, I think this would be a great idea. There's little chance of it passing.

It would be as great if European and others countries put a 25% tax on all revenue Google, Facebook etc. generate in their countries.

Especially tech companies making their money from ads and such provide very little real value and just drain massive amounts of money and transfer it to the US economy.

They generally have way more employees in the US relative to how much money they are making domestically.

I agree on both points, but my point was that there are people aware of outsourcing and working on curbing it too.

Your comment did not deserve to be downvoted, I don't know who did it or why they did it without some kind of comment explaining their bone of contention.

Likely the person who smugly commented how other countries should tax US companies doing business there (implying that they don't do already?).
