Ok, so every American company becomes the subsidiary of a company registered in Bermuda or Ireland. They report no profits from their American subsidiaries, so they pay no taxes.

Corporations don't have to "live" anywhere, so they don't have anything to lose by ceasing to exist in high tax areas and "moving" to low tax ones. It's why companies based in Kansas City switch back and forth from being Kansas-based or Missouri-based, whatever's convenient for their taxes.

If they want to sell their shit in the US they have to allow us to audit them everywhere

So, they don't sell their shit in the US. Problem solved.

Let me guess, you're an American who has never lived outside the US?
