The moochers must have your moolah!
I'll take a latte, no whip, and light on the "fair share." Socialism sucks when it happens to you Starbucks.
I was listening to a show on the BBC on this topic. This is the next media meme to be imported here. The UK left has been demonizing companies for “tax avoidance”, which amounts to savvy use of the tax code to reduce taxes. The left there is claiming that while it is legal for corporations (and wealthy individuals) to use deductions or create limited companies to reduce their tax liabilities, it is “immoral” or “unfair” to do so. The public relations backlash has caused Starbucks to make noises about somehow paying more to the Revenue Service. Either their sales fell or the Brits don’t like burnt coffee.
Expect the media wing of the Obama regime (MSDNC, CNN and just about everyone else) to start floating this garbage barge any day now. And sadly, as November 6 proved, a majority will lap it up.
