Default OT -- Haliburton sees handwriting on the wall. Moves offshore.

Dubai Marina
The vision of Dubai Marina is to create an awe-inspiring city-within-a
city that delights residents with its cosmopolitan, free-spirited atmosphere
and unique, invigorating lifestyle. It will be an urban centre on the water,
comparable to the most exclusive waterfront developments in the world's
leading cities. Ideally positioned along Dubai's new growth corridor, Dubai
Marina will be the place where people meet, laugh, live and enjoy life to
the full. Always alive, with the glittering Marina at its heart, Dubai
Marina will be unlike any other place, in Dubai, the Middle East and even
the world.

Talk about being able to see the handwriting on the wall . . .
Haliburton moves corporate headquarters to Dubai. Take that, you tax
and spend Democrats!

"Lesar's announcement appears to signal one of the highest-profile moves
by a U.S. corporate leader to Dubai, an Arab boomtown where free-market
capitalism has been paired with some of the world's most liberal tax,
investment and residency laws."

More proof Democrats in power are bad for the country. While Democrats
complain about all the US jobs moving offshore their tax and spend
policies drive companies who employ Americans offshore.

Yeah, Halliburton is good for America. Right. Seems that Dubai is a pretty
fitting place for them, all in all:
