New U.S. Ad Campaign Takes on Corporate Tax Scheme
commondreams.org WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A new U.S. television ad campaign will target companies that move their headquarters offshore, at least on paper, in an effort to trim their U.S. tax bills.

The ads cut between images of soldiers fighting in Iraq, CEOs using cash to light cigars and pictures of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. At the end, the announcer on the 30-second spot intones: "We're doing our part to support our brave men and women overseas. Why don't they?"

The ads, to be broadcast in three markets over the next week, are aimed at jump-starting legislative efforts to crack down on such companies.
