Halliburton cuts and runs

Halliburton CEO moves from Houston to Dubai

Oil services giant Halliburton Co. will soon shift its corporate headquarters from Houston to the Mideast financial powerhouse of Dubai, chief executive Dave Lesar announced Sunday.

Federal investigators last month alleged Halliburton was responsible for $2.7 billion of the $10 billion in contractor waste and overcharging in Iraq.
There's the first and the second from the last paragraph from the link, with a lot to read in between.

Halliburton lives off the American taxpayer but now they want to avoid as much tax as they can possibly get away with.

Let them go. If they want to become a Dubai company, fine. The U.S. just needs to find an American company to take their place with all those golden military contracts.
