Way to go Uncle Sam, picking on those with limited resources who have succeeded against the odds of making something of themselves – it’s called Imperialism.

Good Job…. Maybe some Bermudians should do the same!!! That is why the Caymans have a *TERRIBLE* reputation and their PM was arrested for corruption!!!

Probably a ploy sponsored by the US. Gov to spur up media attention to get the public outcry going putting the pressure on corporations to repatriate the billions they have off shore.
The U.S. needs to look at themselves, imposing the highest corporate taxes in the world on their own corporations.
In addition they also need to look at their own Tort Law with the ridiculous amount of awarded law suits clogging their legal system.
These companies need to self or seek insurance/reinsurance to meet these awarded payouts.
The Americans always blame someone else for their own created problems.
Bermuda needs to greatly diversify their I.B. away from the U.S. Americans getting more desperate as their ecnonomy is so debt ridden and they start pressuring other countries for money.

This protest doesn’t even make sense.

So, if I decided to move my company to Timbuktu, should I still have to pay my taxes in america? But, there are scams going on with most of these big corporations, there are no company at all present at some of the physical addresses they clam to be at… Go figure.

I don’t think you have to worry about them coming here until the cruise season. With ticket and hotel prices where they currently are they probably opted out of coming to Bermuda to protest until then.

I guess that is a positive of Bermuda’s tourism product being so expensive; no protest tourism.

Why do so many Americans think that they run the world? Cayman owes them nothing and neither does Bermuda! If anything, they should be protesting their own US companies, not a foreign govt. Who do they think they are? They better not try that here! I would counter-protest!
