> why shouldn't US Corporations be required to Pay US Taxes on their income, wherever they make it?
Because the law doesn't say they have to. That's enough for me.
I'm a left-wing, pro-high-tax guy, but I can never understand people who get angry at corporations for obeying the law. Besides being nonsensical, it's actively counter-productive. So long as people are focusing their attention on the corporations, nobody is pressuring the politicians to fix the actual problem.

That will be true if corporations were forbade to enter the political debate at all.
But a corporation obeying a law they helped draft, lobbied for, water down, or prevented from changing is somewhat different in my opinion.
Let me be more clear, "Why shouldn't the law require US corporations to pay US taxes on their income, wherever they make it?"
