America we need American companies.
That means American employees. American.
if they move their retail outlets outside the US they might go bankrupt
So here we are and there are those that will never learn that there is no perfect person for the job but the wise thing is to vote for the lesser of the two evils. Some of us tried to get some of these posters to understand but some are still so damn ignorant. Some of these companies in order to survive will continue to leave America.
Well their corp HQ is in Obamaland (suburban Chicago).
You can understand why they might consider it.
Like Woolworth, Kresge, Grants and JC Penney you can almost smell the doom.
“Sears is a family store for middle-class, home-owning America. We are not a fashion store. We are not a store for the whimsical, nor the affluent. We are not a discounter, nor an avant-garde department store…We reflect the world of Middle America, and all of its desires and concerns and problems and faults.”
Capital goes where it is respected and well-treated.
People with money are treated like targets and prey in the USA. Smart money will thus leave.
It’s basically a rule of nature, and no amount of patriotism will stop it. The only thing patriotic would be to stop our confiscatory tax and regulatory schemes.
they are laying the ground work for companies to move to Maine after the secession vote on June 12, 2018.
We are fast becoming a Communist country.

What “American” Companies?
Stock is held all throughout the globe.
So what's your solution?
U.S. Corporate taxes are completely out of control, and it results in shenanigans like this. Many U.S. Companies have $billions they are not repatriating due to this.
The only problem I have with this is the idea that America needs “global” companies. Almost by definition, if they are “global”, they are not American, nor do they owe their undivided loyalty to America, American employees and customers.
We have become used to multinational companies operating in America, but the assumption that they improve our lives is questionable. They might give us cheaper prices, which benefits consumers in the short run; but at the cost of pushing out their purely American competitors because their goods are made cheaper overseas, so at the cost of lost jobs, and yes, lost taxes.
But such multinational companies also prod America to surrender its sovereignty to internationalist interests; to sign treaties that advantage multinationals, not America; and, most recently, to embrace foreign cultural norms that most Americans find loathsome.
As such, multinationals are a potent force against American exceptionalism, prosperity, and quality. They much prefer socialism for us, as long as they are exempt, as it makes things easier for them.
So instead, we should restrict and limit the influence of multinationals in the US, preferring, even advantaging purely American businesses. To take away the business advantages that multinationals gain by exploiting other nations. And yes, to insure that if multinationals want access to our markets, they must pay their fair share of taxes for the privilege.
They rely too heavily on health insurance reimbursements for prescriptions and in-store clinics.
Since Obama has just taken over that industry, the government is in a position to deliver crippling punishments if they attempt this.
