Sounds about right.  Really, only Government knows how to use other people's money.  Can't have anyone(s) hording what could be used elsewhere...per other people who just know better.

This theory isn't far fetched.  When Obama is meeting with other Governments, its one of the reasons that they try to unite talk about global taxes, so folks can't try to "hide" their $$$'s, when in reality, its folks looking to not have to pay so much in taxes.  They're not "hiding" anything.  It's why companies move from highly taxed and regulated states/countries, to lesser taxed and regulated states/countries.  People make more money, thus create more jobs, exand companies, and everyone buying more products.....leading to INCREASED taxes, both income and sales, taken in by the Government.  But hard core leftists, just don't get that.....and refuse to, since it means less power to the Government, to dictate policy and how one is to simply lead their life

There is really nothing more patriotic that a company can do than hide itself in a maze of shell corporations in the Channel Islands, Bermuda and the Caymans.

What a crock!

That is truely hilarious!

But is it a little bit mean to shoot fish in a barrell like that?

I am left wondering if anyone he approached said something like "That won't work" or "That makes no sense", he doesn't make it clear that they 100% fell for the prank. Or how many did but failed to be funny.

  I wonder what sort of question he could take to a Republican gathering and acheive the same hijink?

Perhaps " Would you favor abolishing the Department of Domesticity"?

Yea, the crock being that even after paying massive amounts of taxes, that anyone(s) would dare attempt to maximize their bottom line, more money to its employees, more money to its shareholders, more expansion, more employment, more tax dollars to the Government.  But some folks flunked logic 101.  There's the real crock

I understand that most countrys have lower corporate taxes than we do , and especially do not tax money earned overseas as much.

This would make those countrys with lower corporate taxes more compeditive than us and thus we hand employment to them.

These countrys might be smarter than we are .
