If I were emperor, I’d have Cat building a factory in Detroit by their own choice.

The community organizers are out in force in the projects this morning. They are urging the urban black community to boycott the evil Caterpillar corporation

Any entity that can reduce it’s taxes by going offshore should do so. Corporations and individuals do not exist primarily to fund government despite what the turd in the white house, his accomplices in government, and his parasitic voters and supporters think.

Levin has introduced legislation to restrict the ability of U.S.-based corporations to shift profits overseas to avoid U.S. taxes. But the bill has stalled in the Senate.

these companies are just asking the question,"Why are taxes here so high?" This is not unprecedented. Companies have moved operations and headquarters out of high tax states like New York and California without even a whimper from liberals because they are still in the U.S. Moving companies and headquarters off shore is just the next logical move and "logic" drives liberals wild!

> “Caterpillar is an American success story that produces iconic industrial machines,” Levin said. “But it is also a member of the corporate profit-shifting club that has transferred billions of dollars offshore to avoid paying U.S. taxes.”

Well Monsieur Levin, you could repatriate the 30 trillion dollars that US Corporations have moved offshore, increase US corporate global competitiveness by at least 20%, create a renaissance in US manufacturing on US soil, bring tens of millions of jobs back to the USA, boost GDP by 10% in one year, vastly increase government tax revenues and cut taxes enormously by enacting the most supported tax reform in Congress for the past 7 years that is brilliant, American inspired and innovated and that is inline with the original foundings of our US Constitution.

It’s all in HR 25, popularly known as the ‘FairTax’ legislation.

No doubt Carl Levin and the rest of the idiot Democrats are pissed because they get their greedy hands on all of that money. He and his party are the biggest reasons our manufacturing sector is all but gone in this country.

RE :””Caterpillar is an American success story that produces iconic industrial machines,” Levin said. “But it is also a member of the corporate profit-shifting club that has transferred billions of dollars offshore to avoid paying U.S. taxes.”
Julie Lagacy, a Caterpillar vice president, was adamant that the Peoria, Ill.-based manufacturer follows all tax laws. “We pay everything we owe,” she told the subcommittee. Caterpillar got support from Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who questioned why the subcommittee was even holding the hearing.
“I think rather than having an inquisition, we should probably bring Caterpillar here and give them an award,” Paul said. “You know, they've been in business for over 100 years. It's not easy to stay in business.”
Paul said Caterpillar and its accountants have an obligation to shareholders to minimize their taxes. “It is a requirement that you try to minimize your costs. So rather than chastising Caterpillar we should be complimenting them,” Paul said”

Making $$$ is immoral unless it comes from the government/taxpayers. That is what those Dems in Senate believe.

This is why I love FR, despite it’s faults. I can basically read a headline then skip to the comments and get so much more insight than by reading the actual article. Yes, I’m serious.

Why should CAT pay any taxes at all? Don’t their shareholders pay enough on dividends and gains, and their employees on their wages?
