"The answer is that when we countenance a tax system that rewards such a tax strategy, we implicitly encourage U.S. firms to invest overseas — not necessarily in tax havens but in other major economies."

Um, you did not think this one through very well. Do you honestly think it would be better for Americans if Google moved most of its employees to Ireland, as opposed to simply sending revenues to Ireland?

Last I checked, unemployment is through the roof, and we need jobs in America. Thus, it would be far better if America simply lowered corporate tax rates to under 10% (i.e. the rates charged in tax havens), so that Google and other companies would no longer need to outsource jobs.

How about we just tell Google to go leave the US and move to Ireland or pay fair taxes here? Or maybe we all start paying so little in taxes that the government can't afford the police or fire protection for these companies. I am really sick of their whining. How about some corporate responsibility?
