Dont pull that Patriot crap. Probably all the Fortune 1000, particularly the drug companies, are flowing revenue through tax havens to lower taxes. There was an article in the past couple of months about it, here I think.

Most small companies cant do it, but HN style companies can. Push fulfillment to Ireland, development anywhere. Let Ireland charge through the noose, and let the euros pile up in Switzerland.

If you open a company in another country, tax collection is under the jurisdiction of that country, not the US. I'm also not advocating no taxes, I just wish the Obama administration would think about the consequences of these types of decisions.

I'm also not trying to "pull that patriot crap". I'm just giving you the consequences of making it difficult for me to do business in the US. I will move my business elsewhere, which will also mean a loss of jobs for US workers. I know I'm not alone with this.

That's odd. If I, as an individual, work with a work visa in another country, while living and paying for myself in that other country, I am still subject to US taxes on that income.

IIRC, most other "western" countries don't do that, but I could be wrong.
