There are no more North American corporations. They offshore their profits so they don't have to pay taxes. Unpatriotic, anti-American deserving of no respect no matter how profitable they are.

Trader Joes, Home Foods, or are they too small for this question?

There are none?
Every single one does what you claim?
Really?

That's funny because I work for a north American fortune 150 corporation that has zero off-shore holdings or accounts or dealings. And they pay lots and lots of taxes.

Dumb post.

No offense Hugh, but I won't step foot in any of the theme parks again. It was by far the worst experience of my life. I thought the first time was a fluke, but the second time was so much worse. I would rather go through nearly losing my life in a blizzard again than go back.
