I agree with you... however, that has very little to do with this conversation. The real question is whether you structured your company to use tax havens... or if you set up your company correctly to begin with. This whole argument about how much companies pay in taxes is a false argument. The GAO already reported that most large corporations don't even end up owing taxes and that they spend quite a bit on tax avoidance. The reason that I say it's a false argument is purely based in FACT. If the US was such a poor business environment, we wouldn't be the financial force that we are. The problem we are facing now isn't taxes... it's a terrible trade policy that devalues US goods and favors foreign imports.
