Canada Ping!
I welcome the competition. America needs the incentive to slash taxes.
The only reason there are corporate income taxes is that the low-information types agree with Ubama, that revenue is not the main purpose of taxation, but rather punishing people you hate.
Liberal answers to “why not move”…
“They don’t need more money”
“Because the US needs the tax money”
“They are selfish if they move”
“Corporate greed must be stopped”
“If they move, All Burger Kings should be torn down and made into bird sanctuaries”
Funny. The Dims all complain that the US corporate tax is too low compared to the rest of the world. And yet, they also get to complain when companies move out of the country to pay lower taxes...
Incentives. Conservatives recognize them as the most powerful method of influencing human conduct. Liberals refuse to believe they exist, and denounce those who take advantage of the incentives liberals have erected.
Needs gravy and curds.
I think this is great (the business deal, not the burger)—far from loosing money, Canada will be picking up about 2/3rds of every dollar that the U.S. looses.
Of course, I live on the northern side of the border.
I find Burgerking superior to McDonalds but that is just my opinion.....as to their business they seem to be doing pretty good where I come from. I don’t know why the bashing by this guy...it’s fast food....pretty much what I expect and no one is forced to go there.
I would normally say it’s ok but looking at the supposed BK move to purchase Heinz and the ties in this deal to Mr. “I don’t pay enough taxes and neither do you” Warren Buffett; I would say it is “unpatriotic”. It is unpatriotic for the lying sack-o-crap Obama supporter to say one thing and then do what profits him most. Yeah, I know that lying and cheating is a common trait of all democrats and supporters but I would like to see this publicity shoved up Buffett’s ass.
Didn’t Burger King come out with the gay burger? Rainbow burger whatever?
Exactly. It used to be the other way around; we’d cross the border to take advantage of your lower taxes. Consumption taxes are still higher here, but personal income taxes are comparable and corporate taxes are lower. And we don’t tax our expatriates.
Taxation and regulation are a great incentive to donate money to politicians who promise a few crumbs for business.
I agree with you, they’re not great but they provide an inexpensive, reasonably nourishing lunch. There are better burgers out there but they cost a bit more and the locations are not as convenient.
Anything that takes money out of the progressive, crony-capitalist parasites hands in Washington is something I applaud.
“Freedom has many difficulties, and democracy is not perfect But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us!” — JFK
Name of the game is profit make every move a good one.
I think that was a one time thing in San Francisco that didn’t fly that high outside San Francisco! Make no mistake if it had proved popular it would have been introduced else where and every other chain would have come out with one!! Profit is the leading goal of any corp. as it should be!!
Interesting that they never tried it here in Toronto, where the whole “Pride” movement started. The truth is that we have more gays here than most cities because we have more people of *all* types here (3rd largest city in North America).
They offer more coupons than the others....my wife and I are retired and the booming Obama economy hasn’t helped us this far so we really count pennies. Burger king seems to be a regular stop when we go out for fastfood!!!
