Eh? The US is one of only three countries (the other ones being Eritrea and the Philippines) that demand even from citizens that live and earn their money permanently abroad to file tax returns and to pay taxes. The US is going after its own citizens so hard that European banks increasingly refuse to open otherwise completely legitimate bank accounts for US citizens.
I don't see what's so patriotic about giving companies the opportunity to exploit tax loopholes that aren't available to companies that operate in the same line of business.
