Your common sense is flawed. They waste it by creating jobs in the US. The amount of tax dollars that go overseas are minute. Except for Bush, he loved spending money overseas. And lives.

It depends who you tax. As he said a man on 100 times the average doesn't have 100 times more cars. Odds are he will be driving a foreign car as well. Middle Classes spending on US products created in the US create jobs.

The 1% exporting jobs because it's cheaper in China or Mexico don't. That's what the mega rich will always do, because it's more profitable for them as individuals.
As he says if lower taxes led to more jobs. The US would be drowning in jobs.
