15. Concepts in a blender?
Corporations who use foreign outsourcing and other corporate evasion of their domestic social obligations (like federal, state, and local taxes) by setting up dummy fronts offshore are simply avoiding their share of the social contract.
...
So it is the individual taxpayer who pays for their infrastructure.


Foreign outsourcing = straight investing and creating jobs in another country = setting up a Caribbean P.O. box as head office to avoid taxes?

Handy obfuscation and demonization but does not compute. If a company keeps it's HQ in USA and pays taxes here but does all the production elsewhere, doesn't it mean paying taxes without using any infrastructure? Quite the opposite to employing Americans and using the infrastructure but not paying taxes...
