let's take harley-davidson. a great milwaukee company. we make proud hogs. we export them all over the world. they are made in milwaukee. we make it on the line in milwaukee and if it is sold in chicago, it is taxed at the u.s. tax rates. if it goes to germany and it is competing against a honda motorcycle, and we sell it, we pay the german tax and are the u.s. tax. the japanese, who make the honda, only pay the german tax. what does that do? that means we get double taxed on our exports and our competitors get single taxed. we lose, they win. so we have this deferal system. that wasn't working. remember with 945% of the world's consumers outside -- 95% of the world's consumers outside of this country, we make things here, sell them there, to have prosperity. high living standards. so this deferal thing is set up to make sure that when we sell that harley in germany, it is only taxed once to be able to compete against it but then when harley brings that money back eventually then we tax it again. yet we have these different kinds of rules that mr. dogget is
