Company that Fled U.S. Over Taxes Now Wants Feds’ Help

[Saviolo]

7. I am not a corporate tax lawyer

Or a lawyer of any kind...

but all I can think is that this company still has major operations in the US, and if they're taken over by Teva, does that not put those jobs in the US at risk?

Can the FTC attach conditions to its help? Can they say they'll protect Mylan from an anti-trust hostile takeover (if indeed it is illegal) only on the condition that they transfer their corporate citizenship back to the USA where they will have to go back to paying the taxes again? I don't see the sense in throwing this company to the dogs at the expense of US jobs in an already depressed jobs market.

If they can attach conditions, make'em come back to the US, and if not, then at that point, it might be appropriate to say, "Hey, you got yourselves into this, you get yourselves out."
