Firms grilled over tax avoidance

Be nice to figure my household as a business and offshore so I don't pay tax either.

Seriously if a US company offshores profits then moves manufacturing overseas, they are not a US company anymore. Shouldn't they pay import tariffs?

GE is also a huge gouger in their medical division, as well as Philips. Half of maintenance budget in my health system goes to GE, Philips, and Toshiba for only a few high ticket imaging systems. $350.00/hr labor rates for even the greenest tech who spends all his time on the phone getting help.
