Thanks, good article.....here is another one.

It seems funny to talk about a $1 trillion taxpayer- and debt-funded “stimulus” plan when there’s something we could do right away to boost the economy, create hundreds of thousands of jobs, shrink our trade gap and secure our energy independence: Drill for oil here, and drill for it now.

October’s trade data tell why. Despite a record plunge in oil prices from the late summer and into fall, the actual volume of oil we imported went up. Oil still accounts for nearly half our trade deficit (see chart) compared with less than 30% two years ago.

In a political atmosphere of blaming corporations, it's no wonder. Halliburton fled to Dubai in 2007. Tyco International, Foster Wheeler and Transocean International all went to Switzerland.

Let them all leave. They're all evel anyway. We don't need them. /s

Same principle applies to taxing the wealthy. Tax them enough and they’ll just leave.

It’s a Republican thing too. How many companies were chased off with Sarbanes-Oxley?

So when do we start building walls to keep the selfish capitalists dogs from fleeing the socialist paradise of America?

Redomestication has some tax issues that are not for amateurs, but after the pain, the tax burden can be lower, a lot lower. But why Switzerland? Their lowest tax canton is still higher than the tax havens like BVI.

Before anyone complains about a company abandoning the US, the camel can carry only so may straws. The ability to domesticate your business where it best suits the shareholders is a basic liberty issue. Keep in mind that since the US does not tax foreign persons on their US-based capital gains, it is the largest tax haven in the world, that is except for US Persons.

The last time too many people and firms fled for the exits, Congress reacted not be attempting to lure them back, but by increasing the tax penalties for leaving. Lovers of liberty note this: if a citizen leaves, he is still liable to report and pay US taxes for another 10 years. Congress has made us tax slaves.

Is socialism good for America? Take a look at the stock market. Unemployment is beginning to move too. The clock started ticking when Democrats took control of Congress. It’s ticking faster now that BHO has been elected.

It's about damned time. The "rich" (ie. the productive) are being punished by the parasite class to the point where they are going to, *gasp*, escape their tormentors. America needs a good cull. If the last election is any indication, about half the voting public needs to starve to death in a puddle of its own whining-induced urine.

The productive will, Ayn Rand-style, evac and produce elsewhere. When the commies here die off (which should take about 2 weeks given their historical productivity statistics), the productive will return and re-establish the Constitutional Republic which gave them birth.

In the mean time, F these parasites, and F their leaders and enablers. Let famine, plague, and war take them in a cannibalistic frenzy.

We owe future generations a clean gene pool, free from this dross.

The Democrat "No Domestic Energy Policy!"

All of that puts the U.S. in a position that war for oil or
complete economic collapse will be our only choices.
You can't frustrate every source of domestic energy
without consequences. Our enemies will blackmail us
to the extent that we are vulnerable to blackmail.

The Democrats are leading us into a real war for oil.
A war we won't have the energy to fight. A war we don't need to fight because we have our own resources.

The auto companies are next. Ford and GM aren’t doing too bad overseas. They can compete overseas, and they don’t have to deal with the idiots on Capitol Hill.

Looks like the american socialist dream of building a post industrial america is coming to fruition. Who will be the peasant class I wonder?

I see the bourgeois wreckers and greedy capitalist bloodsuckers are fleeing from the righteous Dictatorship Of The Proletariat and our new 5 Year Plan.

Not to worry, Comrades. Soon, they will have no place to run and will then meet their just desserts in The Camps where they will be rewarded by The People for their heinous crimes against humanity!

They can run, but they can't hide from proletariat justice...
