> It's complicated. "Money they made in their country" is hard to define. Large companies abuse intangible assets to shift profits around, but it's hard to say at what point abuse starts. For example, Google USA sells advertising to its clients. But, the assets it is selling are actually owned by Google Ireland. Google Ireland charges Google USA a license fee of 100% of the revenue they made. Suddenly, Google USA has net profit of 0 and Google Ireland has a large net profit.
I have an even easier solution, and it doesn't require an International Tax Police or Global Government. Lower taxes. Perhaps even eliminate them. There are many ways to achieve this such as eliminating government pensions, removing entitlements, and cutting defense spending and foreign aid. Instead of robbing Apple or Google to buy F35's and ship cash to the Middle East, perhaps we could cut them a break to hire and build things in the USA.
