What's unethical about trying to save your money? Money here is punished and it makes no sense for a business to keep it here when other countries welcome it with open arms. Especially when the HMFsIC are constantly wanting to tax them higher and higher.

There will always be people trying to beat the system. Infact one of them is now in charge of the IRS. But having I believe a 65% of your income taken from various government agencies is not a great way to encourage people to stay.

Tax amesty is a good step though.
