I don't see many companies that are making really big gains in profits, despite offshoring.

From the article:

" But here's how it works with the loophole: The U.S. subsidiary simply keeps the money offshore and certifies to its accountants that the money is invested overseas. It never remits the money to the parent and so never pays the $15 million extra to Uncle Sam."

Once again the American worker takes a total pants downer from Uncle Sam.

The party ends when the money runs out.
