Should we tread carefully and treat these multinational companies with special privileges because we desperately need the jobs and economic activity these hugely beneficial multinationals generate?
What jobs are they creating by running up the bank accounts of investors? Corporations in the US (and possibly the UK) are sitting on tons of cash right now, but they aren't hiring.
If the money is taken as tax, then where does that money go? Back into the economy either through hiring federal employees or work projects. Even sending that money back out as welfare is more helpful to the economy than having that money stagnate in a bank account. At least that is what my limited economic knowledge leads me to suspect.

Re: Freedom of choice?
I was talking about normal people like the tea party people;
Normal people do not think that Obama was born in Kenya and is a secret muslim. Normal people do not accuse others of bigotry while in the same sentence stating how they despise those who disagree with them.
