my definition is based upon which nation charters the corporate headquarters, or which nation the corporation claims as it's corporate home.

Corporations shouldn't be taxed at all. It just turns them into collection agencies for the government.

Man, it amazes me how close some of the anti-free-traders get to Rand's depiction of the "Fairness" bunch in "Atlas Shrugged."

If it set up an office in the Caribbean to avoid taxes, moronic though they may be, and said office became its headquarters, then by definition it is NOT an American company. Sheesh.

So instead of fixing the tax code you'd rather that these corporations leave the US completely?

Or you'd rather they stay here and get taxed twice on foreign generated income?

"Accenture, with operations in 48 countries, says it maintains no corporate headquarters."

This is how they describe themselves. 48 countries. Is Iraq or Saudi one. Maybe they will help out a fellow employee ;-). That sounds safe enough.

Then the American worker shouldn't be taxed at all either --- why should we have to support a monstrous government which benefits foreign workers far more than it benefits us? Let the Chinese worker support the government.

"Corporations shouldn't be taxed at all. It just turns them into collection agencies for the government."

I had a customer ask we what I thought about the raise in local sales tax from 6.5 to 7.5% I said it did not matter to me and he was astonished.

He said: "But, aren't you upset you must pay higher taxes on your business?" No, sir as a Business I don't pay sales tax, you do.
