I think if you look over the last 20 years, big business has outsourced overseas to avoid the high cost of doing business in the United States. Here, they have all the Workman's comp laws, the lawmakers adding taxes and costs along with red tape so they can do business. Its like we don't want these companies here no more so, yes, they move where they can make more money.
Hell, I would move too if I could make more money and not have the tax drain I get here. You cant tell me one person who would do different. Even the people in Hollywood who want " big business" to pay more taxes, wont volunteer to pay more than their fair share now will they.

Although Haliburton says it is keeping it's main headquarters in Huston, the move to Dubai is really a method of tax evasion to the U.S. No matter what twist they put on it you can bet the advantages to Haliburton will be in the billions & the U.S. will have no way of knowing how much they really owe in taxes to the U.S.!
The American public will be the looser not only in taxes but in jobs that will be shifted out of the country.

Pretty close to being right.It's all about corporate greed.They will not be paying millions if not billions in taxes as a corporation and the individual executives who will be living and working over there.Plus let's face it.The Middle East is where most of the worlds proven oil reserves exist.

Azim, I hated your answer. you're telling me that if u . s . a . of america become at conflict with a Muslim government, no longer the persons or Islam, then you certainly might help the Muslim government whether or no longer that's struggling with for a only reason. this is unlucky to declare that ANY Muslim government on the instant is at this is worse, it does no longer something for this is human beings, it does no longer something for this is u . s . a ., and you choose to look after this form of government? you assert you choose to help your Muslims, yet you choose to combat alongside a central authority this is destroying the very Muslims you're speaking approximately. i do no longer think of you be attentive to what you rather want in existence. And what sickens me extra is which you're prepared to desert your mothers and dads, spouse, brothers and sisters, even your babies to circulate combat with u . s . a . of america for the reason which you choose to look after the Muslim government without thinking if the Muslim government serves this is human beings particularly or no longer. once you're this form of follower of Islam, then coach your self a million element if it is not plenty to ask for. CHARITY starts AT abode.... in case you are able to no longer look after the kinfolk below the roof you proportion, then what makes you think of you are able to shop different Muslims? i'm no longer a guy, yet as a woman i may well be devastated to be certain my husband abandon me and my daughter to circulate combat for a central authority that does no longer something yet destroys this is very own human beings.

"Dick" hasn't paid his income tax ever since he has been President. His manipulators say that a "Soviet elite doesn't have to pay taxes and it wouldn't be worth it to run him as a character if they had to take income taxes out of the take."
This is not true. Even the Vice-President has to pay his income taxes!
This is a bill....The "Dick" character doesn't have to pay taxes out of the $90,000 entertainment budget. but he has to pay a percentage of his six-figure salary.
If the "Dick" character is moving to the Middle East, it is to avoid taxes.:He may or may not be responsible for Haliburton's opening a branch in Pakistan.

Half right. They know there is going to be some trouble with the American Laws. And I think that Cheney is going to go down with them (and I can't wait).

Because they would rather help out those people than their own economy. Why is gas prices rising? Is it for the big move for halliburton.
