> The top companies (and the wealthiest for that matter) already pay the majority in taxes.

When you hoard far more than just a slim majority, paying a majority isn’t unexpected and it can still be unfair. But I think you are talking about federal personal income tax not corporate tax.

> We should be allowing businesses to write off research and development.

They already do in various ways.

> More tax money just gets wasted at the top. California is a good example of this.

I agree California is wasteful. But we can tax and just give the money directly to people.

> The main issue is that those companies should be require to hire US citizens and not outsourcing, for these jobs.

Not even close to the main issue. Why not just redistribute the gains instead of playing games with these other schemes?
