From the Oct. 6 issue of Time Magazine: John McCain observed, “Ireland now has an 11 percent business tax. The U.S. has a 35 percent business tax. Where are the businesses going to go?”

From the BDN, Sept. 27-28, “It’s official in Ireland: Economy in Recession,” and “economists say worse is still to come.”

Maybe not the best choice for companies right now, but now long ago, Ireland was being held up to the world as one of the best places to do business. At the time, that was true. How quickly things can change.
