Some global corporations with US HQ's decide to keep profits oveseas to avoid being taxed . . . which dumps additional burden/costs of maintaining government on the average citizen.

You can go back and forth on what ever turns your crank...Just to give the other side of the story, that tells you anotherreason why we are over seas.

This is lifted from a WSJ article the other day.

Steve Jobs told Obama that apple employs 700,000 factory workers in China because it can't find 30,000 engineers in the U.S. that it needs on site at its plants. " If you could educate these engineers, we could move more manufacturing jobs here". Jobs was mystified by a policy that instead educates foreigner engineers at top US schools and then sends them home immediately after graduation.

For me the case is clear, too much government is not a good thing.
