The crossroads verus the seesaw: getting a 'fix' on recent international tax policy developments

U.S. international tax policy is at a crossroads, say those who urge the United States to adopt what common parlance would call a territorial system.  They argue that one of the two ways forward they identify – trying to fortify the current U.S. system – would lead to evercostlier outlier status for our tax system, and ever-declining competitiveness for U.S. multinationals. They therefore urge U.S. policymakers to embrace what they identify as the other way forward: conforming to global norms by adopting a territorial system.
