Corporate tax “patriotism” mandate moves into high gear

[Teddy B 17,252]

Isn't everyone? How do you expect to have services provided to you without taxes? Where do you believe the money comes from to pay for public works, etc?

It's seems pretty idiotic to me to be against Obama on this, it would be the same as committing financial suicide.

OH YOU GOT ME! YOU WIN LIFE AND I'M STUPID!

Optionally, when someone questions your command of the English language it means you're using a level of the language which is above their abilities.

I have noticed that those whose English is poor and limited often claim my use of lexicon and grammar to be beyond their education.

If he wanted the economy to flourish and businessed to stay, he would have approved the XL pipeline, wouldn't have forced Obamacare on the country, wouldn't have rained tens of thousands of new regulations down on businesses, wouldn't have wasted a trillion dollars on a useless 'stimulus'; I could go on for awhile. If he wants revenue from businesses, he'd have to treat them well. That's just how simple it is.

But he'd rather destroy the country.

But businesses have been taking advantage of this loophole for 32 years. Obama is that good?

This part should have been in bold, for emphasis.

What "loophole"??? It's simple human nature, or call it "market forces" if you prefer. Undesireable business climate = businesses fleeing. What's hard about that?

I'll simplify further: If you're mean to your girlfriend, she'll leave. Simple. Get it?

Damn, that changes everything.

Then it's good that you're in favor of this new law, otherwise your girlfriend would be leaving.

Which is exactly what the preznit has accused these companies of doing: "renouncing their US citizenship". Did you read the article?

In keeping with the SCOTUS ruling, he'd be correct, wouldn't he? If these corporations are no longer US citizens nor lawful residents, they should no longer have a political voice either.

Seriously: read the article.

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Good move Obama, it should be illegal to avoid paying taxes in the US for your US business.

Or your water bill for that matter

[JohnR! 5,495]

Here is the thing I believe many don't understand. Taxes will always exist and however much we hate them, we could not exist without them. Having said that i also believe our tax code to be a cluster... as a result corporations will always take advantage of all loopholes they can. In fact, many individuals do. Our former presidential candidate Romney himself has money stashed away in off shore accounts.

And one current preznit does as well. Does that surprise you?

Ow. How dare you cross threads to hold these folks' feet to the fire!

some Obama denier will be along shortly to explain how his offshore accounts are not technically offshore and not Evil like any repub that has ever lived

Yeah i'm sure Mitt Romney doesn't do this. Which would mean the two candidates I could have voted for last election both have offshore bank accounts. Which means I can't use that as an option to choose which I'd rather vote for. Got it?

With NB being a staunch moderate, he should be appalled at both sides for partaking in these unethical tactics.
