It's not that simple. A lot of Fortune 500 companies are
multi-nationals meaning that they do business internationally and
generate profits in different countries/currencies. If they
repatriate that money back to the US they get hit with double
taxation, first where they earned it, and again here when they bring
it back. A lot of them would like to bring profits back but not at
the cost of double taxation.


Beardsley's corporate apologetica continues.


Wayne made an intelligent assumption and you made a fool of yourself,
AGAIN. Way to go WAFA.


And we should adopt that ASSUMPTION as fact? Why?


I don't know. Should you? You tell me.
