    Freedom Is Not Free

    y JAKE TAPPER

    March 12, 2007 — Halliburton Co., currently the largest military contractor in Iraq with billions of dollars in Pentagon contracts, announced Sunday that it was planning to move its CEO and corporate headquarters from Houston to Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

    The move could eventually save the firm a fortune in U.S. taxes, but it is raising serious questions about its priorities and prompting at least one possible congressional hearing.

    Dave Lesar, Halliburton's chairman, president and chief executive officer, made the announcement at an energy conference in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

    This isn't a shoe company DG. You can play dumb if you want, but you and I both know this is unethical.

    They are moving their headquarters, not their place of incorporation. They will still pay US Corporate income tax.

    Most of their business is done in Asia, this makes perfect sense to me. Don't tell the idiots above though.

    I'm glad they decided that paying taxes in America is redundant, I mean they rob us blind and then have to give a little back? Fuck that they say, "we will rob you and give you nothing back ", signed Heavyburden, we mean Halliburton...oops...
    Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
