THE STORY SAYS: "U.S. corporations do business overseas is that U.S. corporate taxes are so high compared with other countries. They operate overseas for other perfectly benign reasons: to be closer to foreign customers and to achieve efficiencies that make them more productive. Why this is considered a bad thing is not clear — except that it makes for an easy pander to economically illiterate voters"

YOU SAID: "I think Benedict Arnold at least had a point. So do most of these CEOs who pack up and leave."

I suggest you read the quoted part of the story again, and perhaps you will find yourself in the last sentence .. "an easy pander to economically illiterate voters".

Why you consider my statement a pander is not clear. The article says corporations have intelligent reasons to leave. So do I. How is what I'm saying significantly athwart the thrust of the article?
