Allright. Youngladyrighthere.

THEPRESIDENT:

 Right.

QIfyoucouldelaboratemoreonyourNationalExportInitiative,Ithinkthatthatwouldbeanamazingthingtotalkabout.

THEPRESIDENT:

 Well,that’sagoodpoint. Youguysaresellingsomeofyourturbinesoverseas,partlybecausewhat’scalledtheExport-ImportBank--whichisagovernmentagencythathelpsbusinessesmarkettooverseasmarkets--hookedupwithGamesaandsaw--discoveredthiswaywheretheycouldgetintothatmarket.

Now,oneofthewaysthatwegotintroublebeforetherecessionwaswewereborrowingalotofmoneytobuyalotofstufffromsomebodyelse. Right?

 Imean,basically,whathappenedwasweranupourcreditcards,wetookouthomeequity2loans,andweboughtalotofflat-screenTVs,andweboughtalotofwhateveryouallbuy. （Laughter.） Ididn’twanttogetpersonalintermsofallthethingsthatyoumighthavepurchased. Butalotofitwasmadesomewhereelse. AndthatwasgreatforChina. ThatwasgreatforsomeoftheseothercountriesthatareexportingtotheUnitedStates,butitwasn’tverygoodforU.S.industry.

Thewaycountriessucceedoverthelongtermisbymakingstuffandsellingittosomebodyelse. （Applause.） Sowhat--my--Isetagoal. IsaidIwanttodoubleourexports. Iwanttodoubleourexportsoverthenextfiveyearsandwecandoit. We’vealreadyincreasedourexportsby18percent. Nowthat’sagoodstart,butthatmeanswegotanother80percenttogo. Andthat’swhereusingsomethingliketheExport-ImportBankcanbereallyimportant,becausealotoftheseothercountriesgiveabigadvantagetotheirexporters. Theyhelpgivethemfinancing. Theyhelpthemfindmarkets. Theynegotiatedealsforthem. Andmyattitudeis,well,ifthey’redoingitfortheircompaniesIwanttomakesurewe’redoingitforourcompanies. AndIwanttomakesurethatgoodsthatwe’reproducinghereintheUnitedStatesgetsoldotherplaces.

We’vegotthebesttechnology. We’vegotthebestworkersintheworld. Butwearesuchabigmarketthatalotoftimeswe’vebeenfocusedmoreinternallythanthinkingabouthowcanweselltoothercountries. Andwecan’tbeafraidofcompetition. We’vegottogoafterit. Allright?

Youngladyrightthere. Yes,you.

QHi,mynameisSingazaBell（ph）. Yes,myquestionisinlightofwhatyoujustsaid. Whatofcorporate3taxincentives4andR&DtaxincentivesthatwillmakecompanieslikeGamesadotheirmanufacturinghere?

 Becauseit’sonethingtohavetheknowledgebaseintheUnitedStates,butwereallyneedmanufacturingbackhere.

THEPRESIDENT:

 You’reright,andthereasonthatcompanieslocateindifferentplacesiscomplicated. Alotofithastodowiththefactthatlabor1costsmaybelowerinsomeoftheseothercountries,butalotofithastodowithourtaxcode,whichiskindofscrewy（扭曲的，古怪的）.

Onpaper,we’vegotthehighesttax--oneofthehighesttaxcodesforcorporationsintheworld--onpaper. Buthere’sthecatch,wehavesomanyloopholesthatitturnsoutyou’vegotawholebunchofcompanieswhoarepayingnoaxesorbarelypayingtaxes,ortheykeeptheirmoneyinoffshore5accountsanditdoesn’tgetreinvestedbackhereintheUnitedStatesofAmerica.

SothisisoneofthereasonswhyI’vesaidthatIthinkitwouldmakesenseforustoreformourtaxcode,simplifyit,lowertherateforcorporations,buteliminateabunchoftheloopholes（漏洞，枪眼）sothateverybodyispayingthesameandit’sfair.

Becausewhatyoupayintaxesshouldnotdependonhowgoodyourlawyeris,orhowgoodyouraccountantis. Ifyoumakeacertainamountofmoney,that’swhatyoushouldpay. AndIthinkthatsameprinciple,bytheway,wecanapplytoindividualsaswell. SooneofthethingsI’minterestedinislookingattaxreform. Ninetypercentofyoushouldn’tevenhavetoprobablyfileareturn.

SoIthinkwecanactuallysimplifyit. Butonmanufacturing,taxreformonthecorporatesidecouldmakeadifference. Theotherthing,though,isintermsofencouragingmanufacturing,we’vegottounderstandwhatouradvantageis. See,we’llnevercompeteintermsoflowwages;there’salwaysgoingtobesomeplacethathaslowerwagesthanwedo. We’reawealthycountry.
