Jia Lynn Yang, the author of the Pfizer piece in WaPost, seems to want the British gov’t to stop making Britain such an attractive place for multinational corporations.
Rather than crack down on this [incorporating in tax-friendly Britain], George Osborne, the British equivalent of U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, has effectively gone and added a number of green lights.
Good luck Mrs. Yang trying to convince the gov’t that bringing in large corporations is not in the best interest of the gov’t or its constituents–you’re gonna need it.
