On the other hand, we’re spending our way into the ground. Something’s gotta give.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve tried to hammer away at this issue on FR. All I usually get (and especially from the people most worked-up over foreign ownership of anything) is a collective shrug of the shoulders.

InBev is publicly traded. Anyone upset about Bud being Belgian owned can buy stock in InBev and become an American owner.
Bud is now Belgian managed, and owned by whoever holds stock in InBev, be they Belgian, Russian, Canadian, Japanese, or American.

As predicted by me corp. after corp. will leave if taxed too much. What do you think will happen under an obamby adm. only a few will be left.

And the same thing will happen to Exxon and other oil companies if the dems pull their stupid “windfall profit tax” they are pushing now. Haliburton was the first and it will happen again.

I'm not sure the Anheuser-Busch acquisition supports the author's point here. A-B's new parent company will still be paying U.S. corporate taxes on their U.S. operations, which is no different than A-B paying U.S. corporate taxes on their own operations.
One consideration here MAY have been that the parent company may no longer have to pay U.S. corporate taxes on the former Anheuser-Busch profits outside the U.S.

Time for the Fair Tax and these mergers will go the other way with America being a top corporate tax haven.

Augie Quad is a mental lightweight beside whom Al Gore looks like a Rhodes Scholar!
A-B got bought because of widespread stockholder dissatisfaction with poor performance.

The silver lining is Belgium is a VERY pro-USA nation. Very pro USA. They love Americans.
