Have you ever wondered why these companies would want to remain incorporated in the US even though the bulk of their business and profits are from overseas? Why doesn't MICROSOFT move its HQ to India? Why is it they prefer the business climate, the political climate, protection from the US military for their foreign assets etc. when they are making money abroad? As a US taxpayer, I do not want my Govt. to exercise its political and military clout for Microsoft should the Indian Govt. seize its assets, if Microsoft does not pay its fair share of US taxes. Let them take their business, lock, stock and barrel to India. Our beliefs and convictions on such issues are not formed from armchair theories coming from Mr. Manciw and his group of political advisors to Bush. We have formed our opinion based on what we se in a practical sense. My especially has been formed from witnessing the imbalance in the distribution of wealth due to imperialism. Imperialism is on the wane worldwide. Cloaking it in such armchair economic theories would not make the cut with the people, IMO.
