MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: I understand that he's called for that, but why is he for preserving the tax break for keeping profits overseas?
MS. FIORINA: Describe for me the tax rate that Obama thinks is being maintained for companies who leave profits overseas? There is not an incentive today. I can tell you as a CEO. You don't get a tax break for leaving profit overseas. What you get --
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: You get to defer to the taxes on those profits as long as they stay overseas and that's what he wants to take away.
MS. FIORINA: But that's exactly the point. If the tax rate were lowered on businesses in this country, businesses would bring money back. The reason they cannot bring money back is because the tax rate is so onerous.
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Not if they could pay no taxes for leaving them overseas, which is what the proposal is, which is where the law is right now.
