Fact is the corporate income tax is basically a hidden sales tax which ends up hurting the consumer and the little guy the hardest in the final analysis.
To: SeekAndFind
Nor should it, which is my point. Both companies are complying with existing laws, and if we don’t like the laws, well we know who to talk to about that.

"It isn't the purpose of business to support the unreal fantasies of socialist governments, but to make a profit for their shareholders."
Canada is more socialist than the U.S., even if its corporate tax rate happens to be lower. As for Burger King, I rarely go there anyway - way too many calories.

The solution is to reduce the corporate tax rate. No leftist would ever say or think that.Eliminate the corporate tax. Corporations do not pay taxes. Consumers do. Imagine the magnet for foreign corporations we would become if we reduced the corporate tax rate to 0%

How can anyone blame them? It sure beats going out of business. The franchises are in desperate need of a refresh, as McDonalds and DQ have recently undergone.
It looks like Obama’s threat has only lit a fire under businesses fed up with the corporate tax rate.

IIRC, it was a local franchise, not the entire company... Yet.

You know, there is an easy way to reverse this “tax inversion” capital flight. And in the bargain, bring in even MORE tax revenue, if that is the objective.
Simply look around the world, see what economy is placing the lowest taxation rates on the corporations doing business in those countries, and come in with the same or even a little lower tax rate on corporations, then watch the capital come STREAMING in. More capital investment, with a lower rate of taxation on the revenue generated, equals greater revenue for the Federal treasury.
Works every time it is tried. And ain’t that just MAGICAL?

IIRC, it was with the support of the company. From a “corporate Identity” perspective, the franchise is required to gain permission to deviate from corporate labeling and use of logo’s

How is this really any different than all the companies which have renounced their state citizenship and taken up residence (incorporation) in Delaware? Most having no presence there.

It isn’t corporate greed why companies move it’s government greed.

IIRC, it was with the support of the company. No doubt. I don't eat there anyway. I like the burgers, but my wife and kids don't. Hate the fries, though, so we never visit.

That would make too much sense for a “Progressive.” They don’t get how capital flows to the market with the lowest costs and regulations.
