Scarborough To Rich Who Shield Money Abroad: 'You're Not Welcome in the USA: Leave!'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/21/2014 6:13:09 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Is Joe Scarborough taking tips from NY Governor Andrew Cuomo? Cuomo recently declared that conservatives who are pro-life, pro-Second Amendment and opposed to gay marriage "have no place in the state of New York."

On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough took things a step further, telling rich people who shield money abroad to reduce their taxes "you're not welcome in the United States of America." Thundered the self-righteous Scarborough: "Follow your damn money. Leave! Go!" Wonder if Scarborough's banishment order applies to corporations as well as individuals? If so, say sayanora to Apple, Google, Microsoft, IBM, Cisco Systems, Hewlett-Packard . . . not to mention MSNBC's previous owner, GE, from whom Scarborough took paychecks for years. All are among the 15 US corporations with the most money held offshore.

The rich tend to not live in just one locale.

They are like hobos who pay their own way.

This man makes no sense whatsoever. He says whatever pops into his tiny head.

My personal favorite today was his discussion with some writer about how the whole world is falling into poverty and Morning Schmoe agreed with that; then dopey Bill Gates came on and said that the world was becoming more middle class and MS agreed with THAT.

It’s a global economy. These leftists (Joe included) are satisfied creating a horrific environment here and then preventing free will of our citizens to do better in other places. The correct solution...simplify and fix our tax code and business climate to make us competitive. Their solution...continue to worsen the environment here and then trap everyone in like a Berlin Wall.

But the illegals that make use of our tax dollars are given the red carpet?

I am tired of all these elite sorts making declarations of who is welcome and who is not.

Maybe one day the snobby ones won’t be so welcome...

According to the US Supreme Court, it is not the duty of anyone to pay more in taxes than they are legally required.

"Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes." - Judge Learned Hand, Helvering v. Gregory, 69 F.2d 809, 810-11 (2d Cir. 1934).

Once again, I’m not advocating anything, just pointing it out... Once SHTF I expect that the numbers of “Getting Even” homicides will explode.

I see the anger and determination building up via the MSM and the internet. And once that anger reaches the right point it WILL be released. How is the question though?

I will point out that so far in the past few years all of the reported episodes of Mass murder have been done by members of the Left or left-leaning.

And what Scarborough and MSNBC are doing is just ramping that anger up another notch. And just who is their targeted viewing demographic? Well... I’ll leave that for your fertile imaginations.

Ironic isn’t it. Rich like Rockfeller foundation and Henry Ford foundation have billions giving to the poor

University’s like Harvard, Yale, have billions and churn out liberals.

These idiots have no idea what they are talking about which is why I no longer watch any tv news or discussion shows.

I am pretty much limited to the Food network or SiFY

The current company that assumed the Obamacare Web Site this month (Formerly Arthur Andersen co.)may be based in Chicago (Where else?) but is incorporated in Ireland. Most of it’s IT work is outsourced to India.

Glenn Beck’s Open Letter to Gov. Cuomo: Are We Welcome in New York?

Jan. 20, 2014 3:21pm
Glenn Beck

Dear Gov. Cuomo:

In light of your comments this past Friday, in which you declared that those “…extremist conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault weapon, anti-gay” have no place in the state of New York, we would humbly request a written explanation as to whether or not we are welcome to do business in this state. For many of our employees are pro-life and believe strongly in the Second Amendment. All of us will stand with any group being discriminated against.

But if we are not welcome, we will leave.

To give you some background on who we are and what we believe, Mercury Radio Arts and TheBlaze Inc. is a multimedia news, opinion and entertainment company, dedicated to delivering high-quality programming 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Through our Mercury One non-profit organization, we have also raised and given away for emergency relief over $14 million since its inception.

We were the first responders to Coney Island during Superstorm Sandy, not the federal government and not the state government, but Mercury One. We are good neighbors. We employ approximately 200 people in the State of New York and well over 300 people nationally from Washington D.C. to Dallas, Texas.


Our organization creates jobs for hundreds of people in your state, and provides news, opinion, entertainment and a helping hand for millions of people across this country. Are our contributions, tax dollars, and genuine goodness as citizens not welcome here?”

Who the hell are these people to tell anyone who is or isn’t welcome in the United States of America?
