One of these companies, Stanley Flees is the way one of my neighbors refers to Stanley Tool Company that has left, moved its mailbox from Connecticut to Bermuda, they would be under this amendment in no way restricted from doing business with the government of their fellow citizens in Bermuda or if they moved to Luxembourg or Lichtenstein or one of these other tax havens, you would not restrict them from doing business there, would you? ... These corporations that open up these little tax havens in Bermuda or in the Cayman Islands and in other countries, they still take advantage of all the benefits of this country. They still enjoy all the benefits that this country has to offer, but they are not paying their fair share. In this time of war when we are all being asked to sacrifice, and everybody is sacrificing, I do not think it is too much to ask that these big corporate interests pay their fair share. That is what this is about, fairness.
