Name a company that no longer deserves our tax dollars for their subsidies

E.g. a company that offshores more employees to other countries.

E.g. a company that gives valuable information to countries deemed our enemies.

E.g. a company that ditches the dollar by putting it into foreign currencies, such as the Euro.

The aforementioned scenarios are seditious acts by our companies, who wish to see America destroyed.

And some companies have done more than one, or all, of the above.

I will start:

Microsoft

1. But.. Microsoft is an international company

Read, their products are sold all over the world. It's tough to do business in Europe if you don't have offices there. There are a lot of bad things about Microsoft, but they are also a huge employer of American talent. Have you ever met a Microsoft employee who hates his job? I haven't.. Quite the contrary as a matter of fact.

How about Halliburton? A company in direct collusion with the executive branch who flat out steals taxpayer money while performing shoddy (or no) work in return.

2. But, and hear me out on this...

MS offshores.

Worse, Gates ditched the dollar in January 2005 and made a very flippant remark (google these words "bloomberg", "gates", "euro", "january". It should be the first result. I'll let you read the remark. It's not a nice one and proves, as usual, the filth is out for himself first and foremost. Never mind his web-based everything initiative, which will ultimately kill off a large number of jobs that currently cannot be offshored. This is one of many ways that "offpeopling" will soon replace "offshoring" as the new fad to help exterminate the middle class.)

Halliburton is a good one too.

So is General Motors...

It sounds like he's just worried about the debt and the US trade deficit. So am I.

3. Halliburton.

Their actions have been so blatant I'd like to see the very name become the definition of political corruption.

They don't bother to export jobs, though. They just import illegal aliens to wherever they're doing business, then fail to pay them.
