Driving Out Halliburton
Nothing Halliburton could do will please moonbats — not even going away. News that CEO Dave Lesar will be running the company largely from Dubai caused leftist freakazoids to erupt in paranoid theories about how this hated paragon of capitalism could be evading American justice for its imaginary crimes.
As Thomas Lifson notes, Halliburton will continue to be legally incorporated in the USA, and be subject to domestic laws and regulations. Lesar will be spending more time in Dubai because Halliburton is an oil services company, and the Middle East is where the oil is — or at least, it's where the oil is that liberals don't prevent us from extracting.
If Halliburton really were to leave the country, as opposed to superficially relocating offices, it would be hard to blame it. In addition to being relentlessly demonized for generating wealth by helping oil companies to heat our homes and make our cars go, it was nearly driven into bankruptcy by hysterical asbestos litigation. Developing oil reserves is all but forbidden in North America, as the antihuman ideology of environmentalism tightens its stranglehold on our society. Taxes are brutal too.
One day Halliburton — which employs 45,000 workers — might really pick up and leave the country. The Left will have no one but itself to blame for losing its whipping boy.
On a tip from Byron.

Exactly. Why would Halliburton want to stay in the USA where moonbats are pulling out all the stops to make the extraction, refining, and even consumption of petroleum illegal?

Pelosi has Haliburton in her home district. She's worried about the loss of jobs, NOW!
