There is a menace in the Caribbean that the United States must take a hard line against. No, it is not Cuba's Fidel Castro. We should be fighting those corporations that are moving their headquarters out of the U.S. in order to escape taxes. As John Balzar writes, companies like Stanley Works: "They don't want to give up their good lives as U.S. residents. They're peddling the USA brand at home and abroad. They expect to prosper globally thanks to the stability of the U.S. and the might of its military and diplomacy. They benefit from the strength of domestic institutions, like the stock market, the Federal Reserve, the judiciary and the greenback. They draw talent from U.S. universities." Perhaps in return they could pay their taxes?
