BJ:

Your lack of knowledge regarding US taxes and policy is legendary. The US Corporate tax rate is the second highest in the world. Exceeded by only Japan. That is why moneys earned overseas by US corporations are not sent back stateside. Why pay 40% when one can pay 25% or less. As for US credibility, When the Looney was under 60 cents US, I never trashed Canada. The US makes a lot of mistakes. However, you are not having to speak Russian nor facing the mainstream of terroristic threats. Thanks to the US!
