Al Re...So you are critical of France and Germany companies for allegedly doing business in these countries

It wasn't just ordinary business, it was selling WMD against sanctions, for profit, is my beef. Show me how Halburton was selling WMD, against sanctions, for profit, and I will join you.

What the hell is wrong with people like you anyway?

Like it or not, my discussions about German and French companines, only involved selling of WMD for profit.
There was nothing said, even once, abourt taxes. If you want to change the subject to taxes, fine, just say so. No need to get your undies in a bunch, or start a civil war over it.

are ready to look for a technicality to forgive an American company that sets up a shell in the Caymans to do the same thing? Such companies not only skirt the intent of the law, but they add insult to injury and do it tax free.

Good, now we have something we can agree on. Now all we have to do is get congress, to close that loophole. Congress, and the president allow that loophole to continue. Quit blaming corporations, for doing what we all do, which is avoid paying all the taxes we can legally. Which is why I am a fan of graduated flat taxes, or VAT taxes. We need to get rid of the favoritism, from all sides for all corporations, not just Halburton.

PS, don't expect Edwards to change the status quo, as I just heard him say tonight, that he favored tax breaks, for corporations, investing and creating jobs. What is the difference, between his tax breaks, and Bill's and Gw's tax breaks. Nothing.
