Halliburton's Dubai Move Sparks Outcry

I know there will probably be a lot of support for this - BUT NOT FROM ME

Halliburton's Dubai Move Sparks Outcry, Members Of Congress Criticize Move As Insult To U.S. Soldiers And Taxpayers - CBS News

To bad that some will only side with their Team - and say - "That's a Dem talking....."

These and any other company that do this should receive NO FEDERAL CONTRACTS!

BTW - Great Pride in America huh! We would have never won WWII with companies like this......well it wasn't tolerated then either...

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., called the decision to move as "an example of corporate greed at its worst."

"This is an insult to the U.S. soldiers and taxpayers who paid the tab for their no-bid contracts and endured their overcharges for all these years," Leahy said in a statement.

"At the same time they'll be avoiding U.S. taxes, I'm sure they won't stop insisting on taking their profits in cold hard U.S. cash," Leahy said.
