Check out this link from the link he posted though. Apple is guilty too. blush

http://www.winamericacampaign.org/supporters/

"Okay, so we found a way around the tax laws, which helped put a strain on the economy, now we want to bring some of the money back we saved in taxes to fix a problem we were a part of."

How big of them. I'm sure there is no ulterior motive.

Hmmmm.
I said..Hmmmm....
So all these companies have a trillion dollars they want to bring home "to invest in America".

These companies already have trillions in the banks. Why would I think they are going to do anything except dodge taxes on the moneys way in.. and then just bank it with the rest of their money. Is their any law that states that this money HAS to be invested? Or is that just slick wording?

It's too late, and I'm tired, good questions though. I'm sure it's not in the common man's best interest like they are trying to make it sound or they would not have avoided the tax in the first place.

Also tired of bending over for the corporations.

Another link from drjohn post.

Corporations Behind ‘WinAmerica’ Tax Holiday Campaign Already Pay Extremely Low Taxes

So while “WinAmerica” might be good for corporations and their executives, it’s undoubtedly a loss for everyone else.
