The popular new Wall Street dance known to every corporate accountant as tax inversion is under attack from those who claim to speak for Main Street. “My attitude is I don’t care if it’s legal, it’s wrong, ” says President Barack Obama. Senator Sherrod Brown is so sure that tax inversion is iniquitous that he wants a boycott of the latest US company to want to do the inversion dance: Burger King. Mr Brown wants its customers to bite instead into a Wendy’s or a White Castle for the sake of American pride and prosperity.
「稅負倒置」這種華爾街的新技巧大受歡迎，每個企業會計都知道它，然而它受到自稱代表「主街」的人士的抨擊。美國總統巴拉克•歐巴馬(Barack Obama)說：「我的態度是，我不在乎它是否合法，總之它是不對的。」參議員謝羅德•布朗(Sherrod Brown)如此肯定稅負倒置是罪惡的，以至於他希望對最近一家想要進行這種操作的公司實施抵制，這家公司就是漢堡王(Burger King)。布朗希望該店顧客爲了美國的尊嚴和繁榮，改喫溫蒂漢堡(Wendy's)或白色城堡漢堡(White Castle)。
