Some businesses are complaining that it's going to increase their operating costs — and it will — but if it moves jobs here, then that's a positive. It's like Nike saying they couldn't make a profit making shoes in the US and needed those child labor sweatshops (which, in fairness, I think they've stopped that mostly). If every business followed suit (and many are) by charging $90 for a pair of shoes that cost $1 to make and $20 to market, then hiding the taxable $69 in an offshore account, they're screwing the economy.
