All this talk about a tax holiday to entice companies to bring back money sickens me.

That money should have never been accumulated tax free overseas in the first place.

Why don't we just pass a law that outlaws it?

Give company 12 months to bring back all the money overseas (and pay tax on it), or the company is forfeit to the US government. (or dissolved or penalized severely, or pick your favorite method)

These are companies that are morally wrong. Given them a break on their transgression is equally wrong.
