"How many do you want?" Lots of them - say about 10,000,000. I would them offer them a special deal for integrating with our local Indians and suspend the polygamy laws in their favour.

Ireland became the Celtic Tiger for three reasons. First it has a very low rate of corporate tax. Second it had already in place lots of reciprocal tax agreements to avoid any double taxing. So profits booked in Ireland into an Irish subsidiary of a foreign bank or corporation would only get a low rate of tax applied. Third, there was an incredibly lax regulatory system, if one can call a blind eye a system. Take a look at where the big American corporations have their European or even world-outside-of-America HQ. Ireland every time. The reason is the low tax rate. Very, very large US Companies which I could name but won't for legal reasons and ask you to think of them yourself, as well as a host of Russian companies are based or have their HQ in Ireland for tax reasons. Companies making sales in Taiwan, India or Spain were and still are booking their profit in Ireland. Who bankrupted Ireland? meattradenewsdaily.co.uk The Irish exchequer benefits from tax revenue it would never get otherwise. Because without meaning any disrespect there would be few reasons for them to chose Ireland were it not for the tax rates. The company benefits from low taxes and ease of repatriation of the profits back home - where ever that might eventually be.
