Oh, I think the profits will undoubtedly come back. I think the


repatriation holiday in 2004 demonstrated that. The question is will it be used for investment in the US or to repurchase shares and pay dividends. I personally don't care. Any of those scenarios are better than the profits just remaining overseas.

And no, this change won't stop companies from using transfer pricing strategies and pass through entities in tax havens like bermuda or ireland -- companies will continue to shift profits to the maximum extent possible to tax havens -- but it will reduce the incentive for companies to use transfer pricing to shift as much profit from the US to say Canada or the UK, or Germany any other place where they transact though normal business operations.
