RE: RE: Bono, U2 hit sour note in move to cut their tax bill

Strother -> "Further, U2 is clearly an international business. U2 business practices are legal, and they are within the realm of what any reasonable and ethical business would decide to do."

I didn't say what U2 was doing was illegal. My point was here they were asking the taxpayers to give more money to Africa when they took their music business to another country to avoid paying those taxes. If an American company did that, every liberal and protectionist here in the states would be up in arms and somehow blaming Bush and the Republicans.

-> "Bono and Company do more than their fair share of contributing to those in need. I would say that they more than pay for their "pet causes." One could argue that the four men of U2, in the massive scale of their philanthropy, have probably saved more lives than four average physicians. Not slighting any physician anywhere, but the efforts made by those four individuals alone have improved lives more than you obviously care to understand."

Oh, you're going to make me weep (NOT). By your statement, I would assume you are a BIG Ronald Reagan fan for the untold millions he helped liberate with the defeat of Soviet Union. Let me use some of your last sentence: "Not slighting U2, but the efforts made by Reagan alone has improved far more lives than you obviously care to understand."
