More companies than ever are abandoning the U.S. for nations with lower taxes.
A new analysis found 47 companies have relocated to home bases overseas to take advantage of lower rates in the past 10 years through a merger process known as inversion.
To qualify for the lower taxes, a company must do more than simply set up shop overseas and change its address. It must first merge with a company in the lower-tax country and then either do at least a quarter of its business overseas or give the owners of the foreign company at least one-fifth ownership of the newly merged company.
Only 29 companies used the inversion process during the previous two decades, according to the Congressional Research Service analysis.

Thank your local democrat
It is Congress' job to regulate commerce. Seems like they are falling down on the job
Corporate traitors who want the benefits of US society (including the defense of their property) but don't want to pay for it.
And human rights.
