Hey, I'm not complaining here about the higher taxes we have to pay in Europe. That has nothing to do with CL (or any other company). Don't tell me that companies in the US don't get taxed. Less than in other countries, but they do get taxed. And don't tell me that companies in the US don't pay their employees. Doesn't matter where you set up shop, those costs exists. And they're different in every country. I won't say the US should use the same tax regime as Europe - in fact, the European countries all have different tax systems and tax rates. US tax laws are US business. I only say that the base price should be based on the production costs (yes, including the taxes that apply to the production facility, including the costs that go with maintaining a sales force), not on the nationality of the buyer. Additional costs that ARE related to nationality/location of the customer should be (and are) paid by the customer. This has nothing to do with "socialism." It has to do with free trade.
