if you forgive me, i'm reminded of the annie hall movie in which woody allen is standing in a theaterine describing and listening to someone pontificate about what the director might have intended and then woody allen pulls marshall there. i'm going to make a few observations about professor shea's article, but he's right here to speak for himself. so professor shea highlighted for us a couple of the key problems, stresses on the tax system that inversions present. after an inversion, an inverted company has been documented to increase the leverage that it has, loading up with debt. so that there's in effect many more interest deductions out of the u.s. tax base, what's known as earnings stripping. sort of like if you take your left hand and put your right hand, deducting your payments in your left hand and because your right hand happens to be across the border, excluding the interest income. and so that's one key problem that professor shea highlighted. the second problem was the whole notion of companies fleeing america before they repatriot the earnings that have accrued offshore.
