>> Apple, Google, Microsoft, and the like are holding masses of cash outside the USA.

a large part of this cash is from the tax not paid in countries in Europe, Asia, Australia.

America was always going to get a hand on this money and that seems to be the reason there has been no movement in international tax negotiations.

An American Cash repatriation holiday is way overdue now.. Tax that should have been paid to other countries will get paid in US.
