Re: "How can you blame a company, business, corporation or individual for trying to minimize his tax burden." One more time, with emphasis: There are ways for companies to minimize tax burdens absent of moving the ferkin' headquarters TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY! For starters, Dave, such a practice is UN-AMERICAN! (You know, like Benedict Arnold.) Re: "What a stupid company, business, corporation or individual it would be to maximize taxes": Are you saying, then, that every American company that has NOT moved to Bermuda is stupid? If it's such a smart move, then why are GE, Procter $ Gamble and Anheuser-Busch still incorporated in America? Perhaps these firms understand that there's a price to pay for being able to set up shop in America.
