The Lucrative Art of War利润丰厚的孙子兵法
New York Times 纽约时报 | Congress is finally moving to shut one of the more egregious forms of Iraq war profiteering: defense contractors using offshore shell companies to avoid paying their fair share of payroll taxes. |国会终于感动关闭其中一个更令人震惊的形式的伊拉克战争暴利：国防承包商使用离岸空壳公司，以避免支付其公平地分享薪金税。 The practice is widespread and Congressional investigators have been dispatched to one of the prime tax refuges, the Cayman Islands, to seek a firsthand estimate of how much the Treasury is being shorted.这种做法是广泛和国会调查人员已经派出，其中一项主要的税收庇护所，开曼群岛，寻求第一手的估计，有多少库务正在缩短。
No one will be surprised to hear that one of the suspected prime offenders is KBR, the Texas-based defense contractor, formerly a part of the Halliburton conglomerate allied with Vice President Dick Cheney.没有人会惊讶地听到其中一个怀疑的首要罪犯是溴化钾，总部设在德州的国防承包商，以前是部分的哈利伯顿砾岩盟军与副总统切尼。 According to a report in The Boston Globe, KBR, which has landed billions in Iraq contracts, has used two Cayman shell companies to avoid paying hundreds of millions in payroll, Medicare and unemployment taxes.据报道，在波士顿环球报，溴化钾，这已降落在伊拉克的数十亿合同，已用了两个开曼群岛空壳公司，以避免付出数以亿计的在工资，医疗保险和失业税。
Unfortunately right now there is nothing illegal about this.可惜的权利，现在有没有非法这个问题。 The House has approved legislation to plug the dodge by treating foreign subsidiaries of defense contractors as what they are — American employers required to pay taxes.众议院已通过法例，以堵塞道奇对待外国子公司的国防承包商，因为他们所-美国雇主须缴交税款。 The Senate must quickly follow suit and not buy the contractors’ line that listing American workers at offshore companies is a cost saving passed on patriotically to the war effort.参议院必须尽快仿效和不买承办行上市的美国工人在海外公司是一项节省成本转嫁于patriotically到战争的努力。 No less insulting, the Cayman dodge has been blocking Americans from the protection of labor and anti-discrimination laws.不低于侮辱，开曼道奇已封锁美国人从保护劳动和反歧视法律。
The House has taken on another shamefully common abuse: voting to deny future government contracts to any company that fails to pay its corporate taxes, including an estimated 25,000 defense contractors keeping billions due the Treasury.众议院已采取的另一项可耻的共同滥用：投票否定未来的政府合约，任何公司不能支付其法人税，包括一，估计25000国防承包商保持数十亿，由于库务署。 The Senate should approve that legislation as well.参议院应该批准该法例，以及。
Companies enriched by taxpayers in the war boom should not be able to compound their profits by not paying their fair share of taxes.公司丰富了由纳税人在战争中蓬勃应该无法复合他们的利润，不支付其公平地分享税收。 Congress must do far more to bring them to a full accounting.国会必须做的更使他们充分的会计。
