Corporate tax inversions are the talk of the town these days. When I sat down to write this article, I had planned on slamming Walgreens and Burger King for their corporate inversion, tax-treason trickery plan to abandon America, transfer technical ownership to a foreign country, and leave their domestic corporate competitors (those who have not decided to renounce their U.S. citizenship) holding the tax-bill bag.

But, alas, Walgreens has decided to reverse course and not partake of the politically forbidden fruit, just as I was ready to fabricate some picket signs and protest at my local Walgreens, which is just a mere mile or so away from my house.

What Burger King will do remains to be seen, as they still have time to reverse course.

I would have been happy to urge potential Walgreens customers to patronize CVS, which is right across the street. Actually, I began avoiding Walgreens in favor of CVS for years once found out that CVS used American-owned Kodak paper for their in-store photo labs and Walgreens used foreign-owned Fuji.
