DUmmy grasswipe Judy Smith's Solution: Nationalize Burger King
« on: September 24, 2014, 08:23:16 PM »
Clinton, confident of the Hildebeast's clear path to the democrat nomination, is trying to position her closer to the center to convince more pinheads to vote for her in November 2016.

Deadbeat democrats like poor addled grasswipe Judy Smith are having none of this.

She wants to nationalize their asses!

Bill Clinton on Inversions: ‘This Is Their Money’


As many Democrats attack companies that take advantage of corporate tax inversions, former President Bill Clinton expressed sympathy for them.

“Like it or not, this inversion, this is their money,” Mr. Clinton said in an interview during the Clinton Global Initiative in New York.

When asked whether inversions — the practice of American companies acquiring a small overseas rival and reincorporating abroad to lower their tax bills — are unpatriotic, as many critics say, Mr. Clinton said that publicly traded companies, in particular, “feel duty bound to pay the lowest taxes they can pay.”

7. damn straight

I was thinking more along the lines of nationalizing certain corporate entities.

Looks to me like Bill Clinton actually has come to believe he is one of the Bush brothers.

14. Velly interesting, Mr. President, its their money. The gipper taught us its our money. The

gipper also put it in our heads that corporations should not pay taxes, that only people should pay taxes, and then only through an extremely regressive tax scheme. All hail the mighty gipper and all those who have swallowed his pure de hogwash and ludicrous bull-shit.

I think the Burger King is owned by a Brazilian corporation, I'm not sure how that would work.

Probably not, but the cost would double.

In the 90's they sang Bill's praises. Now they want him to no longer exist. They'll do the same thing to Dear Leader in a few years. There's no pleasing these whack-nuts. Fortunately, no one really takes them seriously.

If the DUmmies got their way and the government nationalized BK, it would have to rename the franchise and come up with a new slogan. No more sandwich royalty or individuality (having it "Your Way")...

Egalitarian Burger - "Have It The Same Way As Everyone Else, Komrad"

The People's Burger - "By, From, and For The People!"

MarxBurger - "To Each According To His Appetite, From Each According To His Means"

Detroit Burger - "EBT Cards Are Welcome Here"

ObamaBurger - "You Didn't Cook That"

Homeland Burger - "Just Get On The Train"

No matter which name the government chose, the menu would have only two items:

Republican Burger - "Sure, It Tastes Like Shit, But The Democrat Burger Is Worse"
Democrat Burger - "Sure It Tastes Like Shit, But The Republican Burger Is Worse"

The secret: It's the same burger with different toppings.
Government is the negation of liberty.
  -Ludwig von Mises

My question to the last primitive is this:

Quote
.....that corporations should not pay taxes, that only people should pay taxes.....

Uh, since when have corporations paid taxes anyway?

On the surface--and as God and everyone else knows, the primitives never go deeper than that--they seem to, but really, they don't pay any taxes, never have.

Corporate taxes are added on to the final cost of a product or a service; the ultimate consumer pays those taxes, in the form of higher prices.....the ultimate consumer being thee and me and the primitives.

And there's no way around it; it's an iron-clad no-exceptions rule of life--the end consumer pays for it all.

I dunno why the primitives are so stupid they haven't seen this even after nearly fourteen years of hanging around Skins's island.

Oh yes it would! Obama and Mooschell would find a way. Politics would destroy the franchise.

1) SEIU would take over all employee positions. Wages would rise to pay for the union.
2) A cheese burger would cost $15 because of the union and take an hour to get.
3) 50 people would be needed to work each shift because in a union only one out of 5 would actually work.
4) any complains by the public would result in the union beating the crap out of the customer.
5) No Bacon cheese burgers. Bacon might offend muslims.
6) Mooshelle could nor resist altering the menu. The Moose would force companies and schools to cater through Burger King.
7) Obama would replace the Burger King mascot with himself.
8) Competition would kill all business with govt burgers. So the govt would outlaw the competition.
9) Only Burger King would be left. People would cook their own burgers until Mooschell would outlaw private hamburger meat sales as well.
10) Burgers would have the same reputation as the post office. and make even less money, but would still be everywhere as its a govt job.
11) Hillary would make it even worse.

The thing the Socialism-is-great-for-YOU crowd like Lew and Obozo, and their idiot tools on the DUmp, are leaving out is that corporations still pay US taxes on the money they earn in the US, no matter where their HQ is.  If they are US corporations without separate overseas subsidiaries, they pay US taxes on their worldwide take, with just a deduction from gross for any income taxes they already had to pay overseas.  So, those that do an inversion are still paying their full US taxes on any money they earn in the US.  They aren't getting off scot-free, unlike GE, which IS a US corporation.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

The DUmmies think they can make this go away just by calling it "ludicrous bullshit."  Maybe adding an exclamation point. 

Clinton's right, publicly traded companies have a fiduciary duty to their stockholders to maximize profit.  That's just a fact.
