Robert Reich: Expatriate corporations should lose privileges

[LuckyTheDog]

Dozens of big U.S. corporations are considering leaving the United States in order to reduce their tax bills.

But they’ll be leaving the country only on paper. They’ll still do as much business in the U.S. as they were doing before.

The only difference is they’ll no longer be “American,” and won’t have to pay U.S. taxes on the profits they make.

Okay. But if they’re no longer American citizens, they should no longer be able to spend a penny influencing American politics.

1. Shouldn't be allowed to of business here

Then either.

2. I get my drugs at Walgreens. My only other choice is Walmart, the Med-Shoppe or on line suppliers.

The Med-Shoppe would be my first choice but they do not mail and they are way out of the way to pick up for my kids who are coming home from work. The problem is that many of us do not have really good choices.

As to all the corporations that want to leave the US I support them loosing their benefits. They are not citizens then they are not people either.

3. Kicked and recommended!

I agree, they should no longer be able to spend a penny influencing American politics.
