This is why companies have accountants, to see what can be done to streamline busness. The less taxes, the more profit, the better the busness does, the more it grows, the more people it employs, the more revenue etc. . . its called capitalism. Anything thats not illegal is fair game in the busness world (as much as we may not like it), and loopholes are perfectly acceptable to take advantage of until they are closed.

Haliburton is a government contractor just like any other. You can check out SAIC, Brown and Root, Northrup Grumman, Lockheed Martin, all of them are busnesses that provide competent civilian workers to do jobs that the army just doesnt have the soldiers trained to do or have the know how to do. Right now the job I fill shoud be done by a contractor like brown and root, etc, I'm a fluke.
