Pfizer needs to shift its tax base out of the US - taxes are far too high compared to most other nations which will hurt the company as it competes globally. That is the fault of our government which is of, by and for the people.
Pfizer helped with Obamacare - It was coming with an extreme radical left president and super majorities in the house and senate. The device industry refused to get in the sand box and now has a tax on gross income. The device industry is losing jobs and getting killed by what adds up to a 70%-85% tax for some companies. Lying down with dogs might be the thing to do when dogs are in charge of everything. That is the fault of the government which is of, for and by the people.
Gauranteeing American jobs is stupid for a global company - America is hiking the minimum wage, even pegging it to inflation in some states. America is deploying its IRS and Homeland Security and Bureau of Land Management and EPA to steal and destroy and crush its citizens in unconstitutional ways with impunity. The NSA spies on citizens and searches and seizures no longer require warrants in many cases. Americans voted for all this when the put people in charge that would do and allow all this. Why would anyone guarantee anything to an American when nothing is gaur anted back?
This is a totalitarian states of America. American ignorance is staggering and freedom is being rapidly lost. And then you idiots ask - why would a company leave the US and not protect US jobs? Companies are protecting themselves by getting out. Smart people will leave too? Why do you love your country? Because you're born there? How about because you're free and unmolested by your government? What do you love more? A country or your freedom? One day you may have to choose.
