Corporate america and BushCo are responsible for the looting of the federal treasury that has occurred over the past 3 years. What do you think happens to all this debt we've piled up, it magically disappears? WE ARE BROKE. The surplus or balanced budget (whatever you want to call it) from the 90s was created by INDIVIDUALS not corps. In other words BushCo stole MY MONEY.

If corporations are so concerned about the US tax structure then they would MOVE overseas, not just move jobs. No... they aren't concerned enough to move their own corp HQ to India... because of course that would mean CEO salaries get cut by 90%. Go ahead, raise their taxes and if they don't like it they can go to Russia or anywhere. In the meantime the US economy will create *new companies* in the place of the giant sucking HP. These new companies will add value to the economy and not just suck the life out of it. HP and IBM, be gone with you.

This corporate whining reminds me of a primadonna celebrity that leaves a successful television show to "make it on their own in movies". HP is "Diane" from cheers or that red haired guy from NYPD Blue or Corbin Bernsen. Go ahead, leave the successful USA- I dare you Carly Fiorina. Without the facade of a US company and your ability to utilize the world stage of the US economy, HP fades into oblivion.
