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.

Don’t do any serious banking in the USA. \\

Money here is subject to lightening asset seizure without trial and subject to lawsuits.

Duh, isn’t there a plaque on stature or something that invites to New York “ - - - the huddled masses? “

- - - - I don’t recall if that plaque mentioned anything about guns or the other toxic subjects Gov. C. finds repulsive - - - .

I’m sure it is on that plaque somewhere as a future Democrat President of the United States of America would never tell a lie.

Its these Globalist Corporations that fund the Left and advocate for higher taxes and more regulations on the rest of us.

Scarborough should take his own advice and leave. The guy is as useless as breast implants on a boar.

Only a fool would keep the bulk,of his fortune in the US, under the current level of risk. I’m betting Scarborough is no,fool, He’s a liar, just like the rest of them.

Yes indeed. Wasn’t he the one who had a dead intern show up in his office? I’ve always wondered about that. Strange indeed.

The “get out” mantra is going to become more common now... it’ll be seen as a left-populist pitch.

If I were among those “rich” who had million$ parked offshore, I’d probably think seriously of jumping off this sinking ship.

You beat me to it!
One thing you can count on is that ‘Progressives’ never progress. They still keep that same ol’ mentality that has bankrupted this country.

Arthur Anderson!?!? Oh, Man! Really? You can’t make this stuff up!
How do these folks can make their arguments about the
‘extreme right wing’ deterring economic growth with a straight face is unreal. There is a severe price to pay for the loss of trust in formerly reliable institutions.

From the Republican platform of 1860,

Supplementary Resolution. Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with those men who have been driven, some from their native States and others from the States of their adoption, and are now exiled from their homes on account of their opinions; and we hold the Democratic Party responsible for this gross violation of that clause of the Constitution which declares that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States.”

rich get richer is simple math.

Someone with $10k invested might make $500/yr on their money.

Someone with $10m invested might make $500k/yr on their money.

So, anyone with any brains will know that the wealthiest will make that gap grow constantly.

Furthermore, the act of investing that principle means companies have more capital to grow the economy in general. These investors are doing the working class a service, rather than a dis-service.

Those who foster hatred of these investors are ignorant at best, and evil at worst.

There is nothing quite so silly as millionaire liberals (and RINO’s) raising hell about other rich people who haven’t yet given all their money to Obama’s Free S**t Army.

Hard to believe Scarborough was once a republican. He’s living proof that anyone can call themselves a republican.

Unfortunately, more and more republicans are becoming like Scarborough than staying as true conservatives.

Scarborough has been playing “conservative” for some years now.

How about companies that fire US employees and contract cheap Indian labor overseas and then import the multimillion dollar products through the interwebs without paying any import duty?

Hey, Joe guess what they are. A record 1,500 people renounced their US citizenship in 2013 including Tina Turner.
