I believe the term used to be called "taking the money and running."
Oh, this OCCUPATION makes you feel SO GOOD, doesn't it?
Here's your dinner bowl of shit, 'murkn. EAT UP!!!!
".... Under federal law, companies and their employees split the cost of Social Security and Medicare taxes, which amount to 15.3 percent of an employee's wages. But some US defense contractors working overseas sought to avoid that tax by setting up offshore entities to hire the workers.
The practice prevented those workers from being able to collect unemployment benefits and resulted in losses for Social Security and Medicare.
Support the troops, be a patriot, blah, blah, blah -- until it comes time to actually support them.
Then the fucking looting war-profiteers of the Bush administration scramble to hide the dough!
When you gonna get your heads out your asses, America?
KBR appears to be the largest offender in Iraq, but others also use the practice.
Isn't that special? Dogshit Dick's crowd the worst!!!!
And the Senate just tossed another $165 BILLION at this rip off!
Yaaaaayyy!
In March, one other major defense contractor in Iraq surveyed by the Globe acknowledged using the practice. But subsequent investigations found that MPRI, a Virginia-based contractor, hires about 400 Americans through a subsidiary based in Bermuda.
DynCorp International, a defense giant, employs 750 to 1,000 American police trainers in Iraq through a wholly owned subsidiary based in a tax-free zone in the United Arab Emirates.
A DynCorp recruitment advertisement for those police training positions states that "no federal income or Social Security taxes are withheld" from their $134,110 annual salaries.
In a recent interview, DynCorp spokesman Douglas Ebner defended the practice as "integral to being competitive in the current contracting environment."
"This is a legal way of reducing costs," he said...."
So, FUCK YOU, American patriot. What the fuck do I care anyway?
Who gives a shit if some Blackwater puke gets his benefits or not.
The WHOLE THING is a WASTE of MONEY!!
SHUT DOWN the WAR MACHINE!!!!
ALL of IT!!!!!!!!!
