The Lucrative Art of War利潤豐厚的孫子兵法
New York Times 紐約時報 | 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. |國會終於感動關閉其中一個更令人震驚的形式的伊拉克戰爭暴利：國防承包商使用離岸空殼公司，以避免支付其公平地分享薪金稅。 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.這種做法是廣泛和國會調查人員已經派出，其中一項主要的稅收庇護所，開曼群島，尋求第一手的估計，有多少庫務正在縮短。
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.沒有人會驚訝地聽到其中一個懷疑的首要罪犯是溴化鉀，總部設在德州的國防承包商，以前是部分的哈利伯頓礫岩盟軍與副總統切尼。 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.據報導，在波士頓環球報，溴化鉀，這已降落在伊拉克的數十億合同，已用了兩個開曼群島空殼公司，以避免付出數以億計的在工資，醫療保險和失業稅。
Unfortunately right now there is nothing illegal about this.可惜的權利，現在有沒有非法這個問題。 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.眾議院已通過法例，以堵塞道奇對待外國子公司的國防承包商，因為他們所-美國雇主須繳交稅款。 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.參議院必須盡快仿效和不買承辦行上市的美國工人在海外公司是一項節省成本轉嫁於patriotically到戰爭的努力。 No less insulting, the Cayman dodge has been blocking Americans from the protection of labor and anti-discrimination laws.不低於侮辱，開曼道奇已封鎖美國人從保護勞動和反歧視法律。
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.眾議院已採取的另一項可恥的共同濫用：投票否定未來的政府合約，任何公司不能支付其法人稅，包括一，估計25000國防承包商保持數十億，由於庫務署。 The Senate should approve that legislation as well.參議院應該批准該法例，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.公司豐富了由納稅人在戰爭中蓬勃應該無法複合他們的利潤，不支付其公平地分享稅收。 Congress must do far more to bring them to a full accounting.國會必須做的更使他們充分的會計。
