Big article in today's WaPo about all of the corporations that are shifting their money overseas to avoid taxes. Now if you and I were to do that and as openly we would have the IRS on our backs. But if you are, oh say United Technologies, you can get away with it.

This sort of poor citizenship is also eating away the foundations of this country. Averge people see what is going on and they start hiding money in sheer self defense. Politicians decry the destruction of the "moral fabric" of the nation - Ha - what moral fabric?
