We have companies in the U.S. that sell to the U.S. mareket, hire U.S. citizens and pay U.S. taxes.

And there are companies that locate offshore, whether via a legal fiction or otherwise. They sell to the U.S. market, don't hire U.S. citizens, and avoid paying U.S. taxes.

Offshoring - treason by any other name would smell as foul.
