some guys here have alluded to the reason for companies leaveing the us but not came right out and said it. corporate income tax, simple as that.they can post record profits, but when unc sam gits done with them, they got less left than they did last year.and also as some members have mentioned , unions, or at least labor costs.until we drop corporate income taxes below the countries these corporations are moving too, we will continue to lose them and their jobs and the income tax the employees wou;ld pay and the sales tax from the items they would buy with the wages they would earn and the benefits from these gainfully employed investing in the stock market, buying vehicles, traveling etc. why cant the gov see that? im so mad now i could spit nails.
