The Corporate Betrayal of America

by Paul Buchheit, Common Dreams

Multinational corporations have built their businesses on the backs of American taxpayers. They've depended on government research, national defense, the legal and educational systems, and our infrastructure.
Yet they've turned around and mocked us with declining tax payments. They've cut workers. They've refused to invest their massive profits in job-producing research and development. And they've insulted existing employees with low wages and dwindling retirement support.(Photo: Lindsay/flickr)
As a final disdainful act, many of them have tried to convince us that they LOSE money in the U.S. while only making profits overseas.
