I'm not blaming anyone flapjack. I am giving you food for thought. You are the one who so bitterly hates our corporations and our suburban middle class (which together represent a big part of our country). I am pretty happy with America. The main reason I don't like Unions is that they teach the "victim" type of thinking that you so strongly embrace. They (and you) don't give enough credit to the average joe. You don't think the average joe can make it without unions, and I know that he/she can. You are upset that companies are leaving America, and I was just throwing out a possibility of why they are moving out. Haven;t you already stated that companies that are here in America don't pay any taxes? If that is true, why would they leave to avoid taxes? The gov't has plenty of tax money to carry out their duties, which I have said many times. "lower taxes for America's working men and women" The bottom 50% of U.S. residents only pay 4% of Federal taxes. How much lower can it go? And the top 50% can afford it, right? Keep complaining and keep the sour attitude. It suits you well.

Why should it matter? Its legal. And minimizing payment of taxes is a great American tradition...... JLA
