Not an exhaustive list but it shows the companies that relocated their headquarters overseas to lower their tax rate.

Well there's one SOB on these boards who says love it or leave it so I reckon they did the latter.

Its obvious we need to raise taxes so we can give out more grant money to the bureaucracies so they can have programs to encourage businesses and pay for more regulators to regulate these businesses.

Lower taxes, lower minimum wage, no obummer care, no EPA....Can you really blame them?

Oh, this should really get some in high places panties' in a wad...

Guess who is making this acqusition and move possible (and who is going to take preferred stake in it at 9% return)
None other than the darling of the liberal establishment, long time worshiper/supporter of President Obama and namesake of Obama's Buffett Rule--Warren Buffett and his Berkshire Hathaway empire.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is providing $3 billion of financing for Burger King Worldwide Inc.'s planned takeover of Tim Hortons Inc. and will earn 9 percent annual interest on the investment.

Berkshire is taking a preferred equity stake and won't be involved in managing the restaurant business, according to a statement today from Burger King.

President Barack Obama prepares to awards the 2010 Presidential Medal of Freedom to Warren Buffet during a ceremony at the White House in Washington on February 15, 2011.
