Small edit in the attached.  Changed this line:  “First, it’s time we started cracking down on powerful corporations that shift earnings and jobs overseas…” to “First, it’s time we started cracking down on powerful corporations that shift earnings made here to tax havens overseas, and rewarding companies that bring jobs back to America.” 

We won’t be able to back up a jobs claim (cracking down on corporations that move jobs overseas) when it comes to inversions because they really just do this on paper!  We’ll be able to do that when we go hard on territorial taxation but that’s for another day.  And thought we could emphasize that the profits are made here and then moved overseas to tax havens.

But Donald Trump’s divisive, disturbing suggestion that we stop all Muslims from entering the United States is a new low.  Declaring war on Islam or demonizing the Muslim American community is not only counter to our values; it plays right into the hands of terrorists.  Muslim Americans are our neighbors, our co-workers, our loved ones, and our friends.  Many are working every day all over our country to prevent radicalization.  We should be supporting them, not scapegoating them.  Radical jihadists, like so many adversaries in our history, underestimate the strength of our national character.  America will not cower or cave, and we will not turn on each other or turn on our principles.
