Ike, John Kerry addressed the Council on Foreign Relations today. He addressed, in the Q&A session the hugely problematic off-shoring of U.S. corporate assets into "post boxes of convenience". Since the early 1990's, there has been a huge exodus of taxpaying corporations from the U.S. tax rolls. Then there were $200 Billion worth of American corporations who had shirked their national responsibilities by finding tax havens like the Grand Caymans and Bermuda to relocate their mail (and nothing else) to, and today, this has grown to an outrageous $5 Trillion of corporate net worth that has been moved to bum-fuck Barbados, the Isle-of-Wrong, Trinidad-and-the-Thong and other ridiculous tax shelters designed to completely screw the taxpayer in America. Can you honestly suggest that the Muslim world should "advance" to this model?
