international American companies". Uhm, if they are international, are they really American? Are they incorporated in the Cayman Islands or in the USA? Does incorporation in foreign countries still make them American if their CEOs are American? I think not. We really need to realize that the major industries that are running this country and have our elected officials in the palm of their hands, are not in fact American, but being run from and by other nations in this world. It's time to kick out the Brits, Arabs, Chinese and other entities who have their fingers in our resources.

How about this company?

I can't seem to find out where they are incorporated but I doubt if it's here.

Of course we know that Halliburton, which does much of the contracting for our military is incorporated in the Cayman Islands along with other countries that their subsidiaries are incorporated in.

There are so many other countries who are at our government tit, claim to be American and don't pay taxes here but they aren't really incorporated here as an American company. It would be too long to list them.

The purpose of this post is to ask, how do we get laws changed that state, that in order to do business here they must be incorporated here and if they are unwilling to do so that they must pay higher taxes on the income they earn here than American incorporated companies. Any suggestions?

I think we would have to do it on a state by state basis myself, but I do think that the better populated and blue states can start the ball rolling. Make EXXONMobil incorporate in each state they operate in or get out for a start.
