Oh yeah. That's it. We should tax them because its our right as a people to pull money out of every successful operation. Let's see how that works out....

So I waited and guess what I know how that works out because its happening right now. Pfizer is trying to merge with a British company so that it can avoid that American tax rate.

Capital flows freely nowadays and their is labor everywhere so companies can relocate their business and tax obligations easily. Put your pitchfork away because if you keep crucifying businesses for trying to do their fiduciary duty to their shareholders you are going to drive them out of this country and we are going to have an economy that looks like France.

I agree with you that Pfizer does a lot of marketing directly to consumers and improves their bottoms line trying to convince you that you need artificial tears, or your boner isn't hard enough, or you need to get on an aspirin regiment, but these problems could be solved more easily by making it illegal to advertise prescription medicines directly to consumers (like Europe).
