Fomenting Communism is also unpatriotic, no talent.

“According to Good Morning America’s George Stephanopoulos, companies that go overseas as a result of high taxes in America are “unpatriotic.””

But how dare anyone question a Democrats patriotism, right?

If the rich want to pay more taxes, then go ahead and write a check.

Has George ever invested in an American company that made its money overseas?

'Unpatriotic'

Yeah, just like the Jews of the Third Reich were "unpatriotic" fleeing
that theft, then slavery, and ending up as part of the final solution?

Seriously, George. "Unpatriotic" to avoid the road to serfdom?

RE “ According to Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos, companies that go overseas as a result of high taxes in America are “unpatriotic.” The ABC host, who has repeatedly lobbied for higher taxes throughout his journalistic career, endorsed Warren Buffett’s call for the rich to pay a higher percentage in taxes.

Democrat talking points are :” Republicans SHIP jobs overseas

My talking points are :” Democrats CHASE jobs overseas

Germany has a trade surplus with China and they don't do it with endless borrowing, taxes and handouts and regulations and union strikes and walkouts.

Do we want to be a Germany (Ant) or a Greece (Grasshopper )??? So far...

Well, George, we could always build a wall around America, to prevent ANYONE from relocating overseas.

Will that satisfy ya?

The Ivy League Waste of Space got it right, he just included too many words:

He said:

“companies that go overseas as a result of high taxes in America are “unpatriotic”

He meant to say:

“high taxes in America are “unpatriotic”

I'm sure dirt cheap off shore labor has nothing to do with with this.

If taxes are the big issue and not dirt cheap labor, why do we have tens of millions of low wage illegal aliens in our country?

And why would big biz not simple relocate to red states where the taxes are low?

The BS here is knee deep.

What states are allowed to exempt companies from federal taxes and regulations?

Because the federal government has failed to do its duty. In fact it has actually hindered state efforts to improve this situation.

Did that stop big biz from hiring tens of millions of low wage illegal aliens here in the U.S.

You know, where the illegals think company benefits mean a 5 minute break?

This is another reason why The FairTax is Awesome and Loved by Democrats and Republicans alike. Implement the FairTax and over 12 trillion dollars held overseas would be repatriated into the U.S. economy in less than a year. Let's bring those jobs and those dollars home. Go Tea Party; Go Fair Tax.

Yeah, 'scolding' -that's a great dem policy.

Dems scold rioters, people who say things the don't like, citizens who eat hamburgers, people who object to creepy lightbulbs...

Dems 'scold'.

George - it's 'incentives' that move reality - not guilt trips.

Stephanopoulos - if we scold people about NOT keeping their grass cut ( because it draws snakes etc) - but every time a person's grass is over five inches tall, we give them a check for $500, what do you think is going to happen?

We'll have tall grass everywhere - and a few liberal elite scolds who "feel" superior. Mainly because with all their money they don't have to worry about the incentive... grow up George.

My view is that most illegals DON’T work for big business.

They work for small business or as independent contractors.

When you see a crew of illegals at McDonalds, they aren’t employed by McDonalds, they are employed by the (typically small) franchiser who runs the business.
