Agree that they were not the most prudent financial managers, my point was as soon as they changed the tax code; there was a 10 year window to sunset it and almost all of the companies left which really decimated the economy where jobs just vanished as they were moved back onshore and satellite offices closed.

You're right, many companies left after they 936 decrees expired, but they weren't cancelled right away when the Congress changed the tax code and got rid of section 936. Same with Act 20 and 22, once they are signed, you're good to go for 20 years, even if the laws change in the future.
