>> ..I never said it was acceptable. I just pointed out why it happened. If a similar thing happened in the US, there would be a civil war. Moving a business is mild by comparison. But I never said it was okay.

You were defending U2's actions in moving their business away from an over-taxed situation. Yet you condemn American businesses for doing exactly the same thing.


OMG, you're unbelievable at times. I was explaining it; not defending it. You made it sound like he got a finger up his ass and decided to move to the Netherlands. Instead, the tax rate was increased significantly. Not a smart move on Ireland's part. Nonetheless, I don't think its okay that Bono moved that portion of his business. After all, he is a very rich man...........does he think he's going to take it with him?
