Yes, exactly. They are trying to change the law with the "Ex-Patriot Act". Also, let's address this:

Maybe we should change this law too. Especially in a political environment that is supposed to be doing everything it can to support small businesses. It takes a certain sized corporation to be able to funnel their earnings through Ireland (for example). Makes it hard to compete for the little guy.
