The business climate is more than tax rates, the Brazilian company that owns Burger King does not want setup their company in an aggressive militaristic state with rampant surveillance making it difficult to develop trade secrets, intellectual property and business strategy. They could have factored other things in their decision besides tax rates and taken an holistic approach. The media is making assumptions that are not supported by any evidence.
The U.S. government will spy on behalf of other companies to advantage them over this company. Already they are unfairly giving them bad press to damage their brand and hurt them to advantage U.S. companies. The U.S. was caught spying on Petrobras to steal trade secrets. Do you think they were going to just sit on it? They gave it to US companies to advantage them.
I have documented my own case of this corporate/government surveillance being used to steal trade secrets that were transferred to potential clients. When I was in Canada, I did not feel like I was being watched for 24 hours. I did not have people making noises as I completed tasks on my computer.
Not only will they get a lower tax rate, but the employees will not face a U.S. Gestapo that uses surveillance to enact terror. Brazil is taking preemptive actions to minimize US presence with respect to the internet such as routing cables. Foreigners are no longer using cloud services or other IT products with backdoors.
I am looking to start a company and the U.S. is least desirable for this fact alone.
