Any proof to support your claim
You want proof that the US taxes overseas earnings of US companies?
Yup! I don't see how I could have made it anymore clear.
There are two theories of international taxation. Territorial taxation, most commonly used around the world, is based on the notion that only a companys profits generated within national borders are subject to tax, thus avoiding double taxation. The United States, however, is using the worldwide taxation system. Every American companys income generated outside the U.S. is not only subject to a foreign countrys taxes but also to the U.S. taxation regime. Although the worldwide approach was once much more popular, about two-thirds of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries (joined recently even by Japan and United Kingdom) now use the territorial system. Right now the United States is the only country subject to both a worldwide system and a corporate tax rate above 30 percent.

Happy to educate you.
OMG you have to be one of the most uninformed people I've ever seen in this regard - and ironically, you come off as if you are so informed, that you "educate" other people. Actually, you're not uninformed, you're just plain ignorant on the subject. Indoctrinated.
Here, let me educate you. I assume Bloomberg is a Conservative enough source?

So basically, Forrest MAKES Lexapro in the USA ONLY. SELL Lexapro in the USA ONLY - and ONLY To Americans. Makes Billions in profits on it IN THE USA ONLY. And pays ZERO taxes on it in the USA - EVER.
If you're not sophisticated enough that a major global corporation doesn't HAVE to ever directly bring money back to the USA, you're hardly one to educate anyone on anything in this regard.
If you're not sophisticated enough to understand how global corporations can return profits to the USA in the form of assets vs. actual document revenues, again, you're clueless. Or brain washed. Or both.
Google "Double Irish" to find out more. Then you can also Google techniques like the Dutch Sandwich and Carribean Cruise. Then you'll be at least a little informed.
Happy to educate you.
