An obvious question that needs to be asked is why does the U.S. tax the
overseas profits of U.S. corporations in the first place? And the answer is
quite obvious – the U.S. projects global power in a way that paves the way
for corporations to do business abroad. That is to say, that the U.S.
military, diplomatic and economic power protects U.S. corporations from
expropriation, fraud, intellectual property theft, and contractual disputes
involving foreign partners and governments. In fact, some of the conflicts
the U.S. has engaged in the Middle East over the past decade have been
characterized by some as ‘resource wars’ – protecting U.S. oil companies
and defending the ‘pretro-dollar’ against incursion from China and Russia.
This relationship between U.S. corporations and the U.S. government has
been traditionally very successful, and the government expects corporations
to pay their share of the burden for enforcing contracts and agreements
abroad. |
