I’ve been guessing that the Federal government was pressuring corporations, very discretely, perhaps with some strong arming and gag orders.

[Tench_Coxe]

Perhaps the common answer starting should now be: “We will not comply”

I had to look this up. At first I didn’t believe it. unfortunately it’s real and sickening too. No more Doritos for me.

Did contribute to the Dhimmicrat Party eh? The regime will absorb you like GM and Chrysler. It’s the New Marxist America charley brown.

This is why there is a Tea Party. Now we can call it the Coke & Tea Party.

Speaking of the Gestapo, for some reason went to the Congressman Even Jenkins of W. Va. gov web page and remembered that the attack on the coal industry is an attack on religious gun toting citizens. Also, he had a letter about the Feds NOT getting new safety standards on rail tank cars and high hazard flammable trains. Who owns those railroads? Why isn’t this being done quickly since rail lines are an easy terrorist target?

Methinks Obama gave marching orders to his gestapo recently.

Again....

Anyone remember? Seems like I recall Bill Cosby owned a Coca Cola plant.

[newnhdad]

someone forgot to donate to democrats..

[scooby321]

Nope a Warren Buffet Company that doesn't pay taxes.

He is such a hypocrite

Pay up Warren just like your Secretary

I wonder how much of this has to do with Clokes recent decision to move much of its business out of the country?

[Popman]

——This could put coke out of business.——

Seriously? Not even close...

Even if they were forced to pay the full amount, 3.3 billion would not crash the company...

This story reminds me . . . I took a phone survey the other day. It was clearly national Democrat. They were asking about whether I agreed we should do more for poor and middle-class children, and if so, didn't I think we needed more early childhood education programs. The last few questions were about whether I had a favorable view of soft drink companies and didn't I think we should tax sugary juices and soft drinks to pay for new programs and help curb obesity.

Probably unrelated, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is a move to lay a campaign talking point.

[redfreedom]

Coke must have done something to pi$$ off obama.

[Popman]

This is all about Buffett endorsing Hillary last week.

Ok, I'd bite.

You think the IRS just last week decided to extort more money from Coca - Cola because Buffett endorses Hillary as well as change the way it calculated taxes owed for thousands of other companies ?

Please connect the dots for me...

I’ve been a Pepsi person from childhood. I’m 68 now. When I traveled to Europe in 2006 and 2007, you couldn’t find Pepsi in any of the restaurants or stores. Coke was it.

[Lake Living]

Coke, the new tobacco.

[Joe Boucher]

Sooo,
Does Coke’sboard support the GOP?
Is that why this out of control frderal gub mint is after em?

No confidence in Anything obammy’t federal gub mint does.

[castlegreyskull]

Pepsi owns Frito-Lay who would their Doritos brand who made a rainbow Dorito in support of the homos.

[ronnie raygun]

Al sharpton owes back taxes, oh he’s black he gets a free ride

[IronJack]

Warren Buffet must have neglected to “contribute” to Obama’s latest fundraiser.

[WKUHilltopper]

So Coke musta pissed off ObaMao then...
