What on earth are you talking about? Do you know what a contract is? Do you know how companies do business?
Yeah, I kind of know what a contract is. What I'm talking about it establishing new customers and moving your business offshore entirely and allowing the contract to mature then dropping the customer in favor of the new contracts in foreign countries. Migration come to mind?
Every situation is different, just saying that many may adopt the above approach.

This would be senseless for a company like the one I work for. The reason for my plant's very existence is to serve the California/Oregon/Washington market.

Exactly, which is why these suggestions that business will just move offshore if we don't cut their taxes is foolhardy. Most business is local/regional; most businesses will remain where they are.
Russians are wealthier than Americans? 75 years of communism and 20 years of freedom made Russians wealthier than Americans who have been free for 200 years (except for some)? Now, that wouldn't have anything to do with lowly manufacturing jobs leaving its shores in droves, would it? And I believe Russia proper has a smaller population than the US. You must mean the new market, China with over a billion paying customers, the ones who buy little from us?
It's time for morals and responsibility to be more important than paying off big businesses just to stay in the U.S. If a company wants to leave their home to chase lower taxes (as many have already done so with cheap labor), then let em'. Forget em'. Immediate ramifications may sting a bit, but just like a drunkard, we will hit bottom and then recover as a better country. Better businesses will eventually take the place of any that leave.
A Barbie doll store? What is that supposed to prove? You are making my case for me. Chinese want Barbie dolls, so a company opens a store in Shanghai. Last I checked, we can still buy Barbie dolls at the local Target.
Again, what on earth are you talking about?

Why Switzerland? They are socialists there in Europe.
I am quite concerned that companies may take their business and jobs to China and India. If we keep their taxes high, thousands of jobs will go to China and our unemployment will be high.

Jobs have gone to China because of cheap labor, not tax liability.
Indeed, what on earth is he talking about. Companies relocating factories in Mexico and China but keeping their trading ticker on the U.S. exchanges is very different from a company migrating wholesale to a foreign sovereign. I'm all for that! If they want to go, let them. As a recent poster said, new businesses will come in to fill the gaps (business abhors a vaccum). There hasn't been much migration by American business but there has been a lot of outsourcing of labor. Very harmful to American productivity and it must be stopped and soon.
