Recently it was announced that Burger King corporate headquarters were moving to Canada to avoid paying U.S. business taxes. Many companies have done this. Burger King is a prominent business in PXs across US Army posts. Should businesses on post such as those at the PX be American-based, American-owned, or does it even matter?

I would like to see the products carried by the PX to be American products however, I know that is too far fetched, I still would like to go to an establishment (prefer it be on post) where that was the case that they carried only products made in the USA.

All US based business, hell yeah, let's get my taxes working again.

I think it should be run by Americans. Not cheaper labor.

I think it would be a great thought to have all military business be american based but I don't think it is possible with the current economic conditions. I think that some things the military contracts for could be worked into the negotiations that they have a Tax Basis to be eligible for consideration for providing services or products to the armed services.
