Business breaks the law so we pass new laws and stricter enforcement to balance the lack of business ethics and business whines about being treated unfairly just because they have no ethics. Boohoo. Cry me a river and make me care. Sounds as bad as liberals.

No, my friend. YOU sound like the liberal.

The keystone of America is freedom, and that includes the freedom to move your business anywhere around the world one would choose.

Only a liberal would DEMAND that you locate a business to a place of the liberal's choosing, even if that means subjecting oneself to things one chooses NOT to be subjected.

Likewise, you have the freedom NOT to buy the product in question. But stop implying some nefarious motive to someone who is simply exercising their God-given right to free choice.

No.

The keystone is liberty.

Liberty is not without the reciprocal obligations of DUTY.

Why do you think Theodore Roosevelt proudly declaimed: "Thank God I am not a free trader!" ?

Once you move your business from a free country to a communist, socialist or totalitarian dictatorship, do you expect the American people to protect it for you? To make sure you don't get ripped off by the communists? To pay you for your business if revolution destroys it or government takes possession of it? If pirates attack the ships carrying your goods?

What is your compact with the American people in return?

Sorry; but, no. Liberals have their own pathetic version of things just like you have your pathetic version of things. US companies got their start and their licenses to do business in the US here - in the US. They aren't owed that license and they don't have a right to it. And, yes, in a world where loyalty means something, it does matter where one occupies himself in business terms. There are laws and ethics which
rule the situation as much as market forces. Liberals tend not to give a D@mn about either the law or ethics any more than you do. Republicans and myself, by and large do care about both.. apparently you've heard of this at some point...
