I see no problem with this. Never have. So long as there are
repatriation taxes. Now if the entrepreneur wants to actually move his
family and his business to India and do his thing as an Indian (or China
or whatever) then there need be no repatriation taxes. Repatriation taxes
prevent the financial sector's destruction of other cultures and the
widening of the wealth gap here and in developing nations. If the
"profits" from a business enterprise remain withing the same tax
jurisdiction as the costs then all is well. Highly progressive income
taxes are workable, but a blunt instrument.

I am not a big fan of unions, but they are not problematic due to their
insistence on a fair share of productivity gains. They are problematic
due to their failure to be more inclusive and organized one union with the
other.

Here again, I see no real problem with this that cannot be addressed with
a "repatriation tax". The "owners" of the business should not be
encouraged to become rich from manufacturing in a foreign nation. This
results in destruction of culture and undue hard****p for the common
people of the developing nations and a widening of the wealth gap all
over the world.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Can I go to the docks and throw
flowers as these rip off artists move their offices to Dubai? Are they
going to take the oil with them?

The only "golden egg" is the oil itself.
The tax system is the key to all the problems. Income tax is not the best
way to tax though it has many advantages when properly implemented.
Repatriation taxes and resource rents are much more appropriate in a
global economy. But most people (and especially conservatives and
Republicans) are so brainwashed by the current income tax system that they
can conceive of no other world. Hell, they can't even understand the
actual rationale behind progressive income taxation.
