Very "American" speech. Don't kid yourself, they didn't move because of high taxes and underappreciation. They moved to Dubai because that's closer to the money. Companies don't make business decisions based on their hurt feelings. It's easier to profit from war when you are close to it.
I don't hate successful private companies and I don't hate Halliburton. They found a way to profit from the deaths of Iraqis and American soldiers - that's capitalism! I kick myself all the time for not starting a body bag company when 9/11 happened. It was obvious that many were going to die afterward regardless of their nationality. You can either be a part of this country or not. Here in America we have capitalism - which means people will be greedy and will intentionally profit from the losses of others. It is the American way. If you don't like it, leave the country with them.

Why did George Soros recently spent $62.2 million for 2 million shares of Halliburton. Why would he give so much money to organizations like Move On, who constantly hammer Halliburton only to buy a large amount of stock? Or did he orchestrate it to lower the price? What does he have to do with all of this moving to Dubai?

what's transferring to Dubai? the corporate workplace is largely the CEO and some help team. The resources Halliburton has in the U. S. are vast. area of the CEO does no longer ward off investigations. i'm getting a kick out of a few of those questions.

"All" Haliburton has received from America are BILLIONS of dollars worth of no-bid contracts that they otherwise would not have been awarded. The criticisms leveled against Haliburton transcend political affiliations and the evidence of their illegal bidding practices and tax evasions are overwhelming. Should we ignore their corruption because "other companies have done it"? The oil companies have made record profits by selling their oil to the U.S. government at highly inflated prices therefore they should be taxed "to hell". When you understand the situation, you'll understand the anger.

Shouldn't everyone have to contribute to the future of the US?
Halliburton has been sanctioned and fined 3 times for shoddy business practices.
Yes you are right American companies should move to another country so they can enslave the poor of another nation (like Taiwan child labor and adult underpaid workers)!
There they also have no environmental laws to follow so they can pollute the earth at a much faster rate!
Good Call!

A company which has unquestionably made millions upon millions from American contracts, moving their headquarters in such a way that they are exempt from many American taxes?
They should be ashamed. Americans should be ashamed of Halliburton, especially the Republicans. Why? They're making millions from America, while taking away tax monies which go to things like paying the troops you want to support.
Supporting this move of Halliburton's is like supporting US flags made in China.

I find it , Halliburton moving to the Arab Emeritus, something to ponder on.
All of us including the large American corporations are supposed to be on terrorist alert.
It seems odd that Halliburton would move to the homeland of the 911 terrorists. It makes one wonder why they feel so safe there.

You are a traitor of the most vicious and obvious kind and I only wish Crucification of people to death was legal in America .
Your death would serve as a reminder to all people that unity and strength is key to our survival .
People who want to jump ship can do so if they want .
I want a law now that requires all us tax dollars except for foreign aide to be spent solely in the United States .

All they have done is gone back to their "roots"
Despite the obscene wealth available to America, we still have homelessness. According to an Urban Institute study in 2000, 3.5 million people, of whom 1.35 million are children, are likely to experience homelessness each year. While one can argue that this only represents 1% of the population, I argue that this is 1% too many. America has enough resources that one individual, Bill Gates, has made a scandalous $300.00 per second in his ascendancy to the largest fortune in the world. Gates' net worth is 800,000 times that of someone with a net worth of $70,000. While an elite few like Gates experience the American Dream on steroids, 3.5 million live the American Nightmare while eating from garbage cans and using newspapers for insulation to fend off the cold. Our plutocracy's answer to human suffering is to decrease funding for social welfare programs, lower taxes on the wealthy, and increase military spending.
American poverty also manifests itself in less extreme ways than homelessness. In 2002, only 89% of Americans were food secure. This means that 11% of the populace did not have access to the food necessary to lead an active, healthy life. In the same year, 3.5% of Americans lived went through periods where they went hungry. How twisted is that? The US farm economy perpetually struggles with over-production, yet over 12 million human beings suffered from hunger in 2002. This is the justice we are spreading in Iraq, or so the rationalization for the invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation goes.
