This doesn't solve the globalization problem. Say..an American company such as Walmart goes to a country, kill all their local competition with lower price, and make a ton of profit and then distribute them amongst Walmart shareholders in the U.S.

Sure those shareholders will pay cap gain or personal income, but now since you eliminated corporate tax completely, the net tax revenue of the country wal-mart operates in is no diminished.

This is a great idea to increase the wealth gap between developed countries and the rest of the world, for good or bad. Considering how many international conglomerates are American, European or Japanese.

Developing countries wouldn't stand a chance this way.
