[B]It’s a big deal. American companies, bailing out on American taxes! [/B] The American tax payer has been funding the worlds $$ trillion dollar war on terror for about 12 years and all these American corporations just want to leave us with the bill? :censored: that! So drug companies have received billions in research funding and billions from medicare and medicaid and they want to just leave and pay no tax? :censored: that! I am talking specifically about corporate tax inversions and tax shelters and scams. This should really concern all Americans LEFT RIGHT OR MIDDLE? Even if Fox news claims that corporate tax inversions are good for America because its good for shareholders. It should concern you even as a conservative?
