What are you talking about? Any money earned in the US by these corporations are taxed at US tax rates. The purpose of off-shore holding companies is to handle money earned outside the US before it is repatriated into the US. Once the earnings are repatriated, they are required to pay US taxes.
The Bahamian and Bermudan governments give companies safe countries with stable banking systems and well-run legal systems for their off-shore business. They're like Delaware, but for international business.
