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.
“税负倒置”这种华尔街的新技巧大受欢迎，每个企业会计都知道它，然而它受到自称代表“主街”的人士的抨击。美国总统巴拉克•奥巴马(Barack Obama)说：“我的态度是，我不在乎它是否合法，总之它是不对的。”参议员谢罗德•布朗(Sherrod Brown)如此肯定税负倒置是罪恶的，以至于他希望对最近一家想要进行这种操作的公司实施抵制，这家公司就是汉堡王(Burger King)。布朗希望该店顾客为了美国的尊严和繁荣，改吃温蒂汉堡(Wendy's)或白色城堡汉堡(White Castle)。
