Thanks for coming on @sashachavkin ! I think America wants to be hopeful-- though nobody yet knows what the real effect will be. Corporations always find ways to do what benefits their bottom $ (which I guess is their job).https://twitter.com/sashachavkin/status/952560415019622401 …

Thanks for the note Sharyl. I'd like to be hopeful too, but we've seen this movie before - giving tax cuts to reward companies to bring home offshore $$ leads them to do it again and keeps the offshore system thriving

I don't know as much about it as you do, but what about the idea that the status quo wasn't working? *and* what's a short version of a better solution? Obviously corporations (in my opinion) helped craft the tax bill...

Another would be country-by-country reporting rules, which would require multinational corps to report profits (and pay taxes on them) in the same countries where they made the money

If you're willing, maybe we can have you on down the road to talk about what you wished had been included in the story, interesting (to me) that there are some alternatives... ones that may be difficult to get on the table knowing how bills are crafted. I would do the interview.
