Everyone going to go after BK the way they did Walgreens?

Good for Burger King!

It isn't the purpose of business to support the unreal fantasies of socialist governments, but to make a profit for their shareholders. The more business flee the oppressive US tax structre the better.

$2 billion unaccounted for in the Penagon. $2 billion unaccounted for in the US Dept. of Education (which isn’t needed as each state has one). And the gov’t expects us to keep dishing out our hard-earned cash for them to waste. Burger King apparently is fed-up. Me too.

i would like the big mouth “corporate welfare” people to review this story, and come away with some form of education based on the example

nothing else has gotten through to you folks

read it

read it three times if you have to

[DoughtyOne]

I did not mean you, when I used the word “you” there.

I’m speaking to the people who decry “corporate welfare” non stop around here.

BK is owned by Brazilian investors (3G Capital). It isn’t an American company.

The traitorous corporation Burger King plans to take advantage of the fact that America’s English-speaking neighbor to the north maintains the second-lowest corporate tax rate of any G-7 nation.

The solution is to reduce the corporate tax rate. No leftist would ever say or think that.

Hold the Taxes,

Hold the Regulations,

Obamacare is strangulation,

They're gonna have it THEIR WAY for a change................

[TheThirdRuffian]

Good for them. The tax code is obscene.

[plangent]

Didn’t communist East Germany try this with a wall or something to keep their people from getting out to a better life?

Seems like Joe and Mika yearn for the good old days.

Bite me Obama!

money is fungible

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

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.

Cant Holder throw them in jail before they leave? To make an example of them?

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.

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?
