Why on earth a productive company would move to Europe, where your revenues are automatically slashed by 50% in taxes, and you are constantly exposed to whimsical unfettered politicians..

They could start here. Why Facebook, Google, Amazon don't open massive headquarters in Paris, Madrid, Rome or Berlin, and they rather stick to UK and Switzerland?

Also software managers won't move to Europe for the same reasons. European politicians have the upper hand and the last word in negotiations.

I dont' think the difference between EU and US taxes on revenue are all that different.

If you compare Panama, or other tax havens where multinational companies like to stash their revenue, to the EU then you probably have a point.

Do all European countries really have such a high tax rate or is it just a few places like France?
