Is anyone surprised that a number of large companies, including those getting bailout money and those with strong ties to the Republican party are making every effort to plunder the U.S. treasury and thus the U.S. taxpayer?
You shouldn't be.
When it comes to money, companies and their allies will use anything to get their hands on it.
If it means selling people on a war to improve their bottom line--they'll do it. If it means evading their obligations to their home country by evading taxes--they'll do it.
I don't know about you, but if I tried to offshore myself to avoid taxes I'd be arrested.
So much for real patriotism. Being patriotic is about carrying your full share responsibility to your country instead of your wallet.
