WHO CARES WHAT A TAX INVERSION IS?

If you do care, here’s a link to a discussion of what tax inversions are, why (in the author’s opinion) they are bad, and what to do about them, by a guy whose resume makes it sound like he should know what he’s talking about.  


I don’t claim to know enough to opine on the ultimate issue of whether tax inversions are good or bad.  I do think it’s pretty obvious that the whole discussion is just another example of how tax complexity is causing serious distortion and damage to the economic well being of the country.

I have written about tax simplification a number of times, here and here, for example.  We can only hope that someday the House and Senate will make it happen.
