I'm Done Eating At Burger King

When an American Company moves its headquarters out of the nation to avoid paying taxes then it is no longer an American company and not worthy of my business.

Burger King to buy Tim Hortons with help from Warren Buffett move headquarters to Canada - NY Daily News


Then you are a moron. BurgerKing will continue to pay U.S. taxes on its U.S. income. What it is doing is keeping the U.S. from taxing its foreign income. The U.S. is the only developed country that does this; and our tax rates are already significantly higher.

I don't eat at Burger King, or McDonalds, or Wendy's or Sonic. Not because of their business practices, but because their food is crap.

Sonic has good blasts when I crave ice cream and the scale allows. If I have to do the burger thing, it is generally a jalapeno cheeseburger from Whataburger, as we only have McD, BK, Wendy's, Sonic and Whataburger. I can't cook burgers or meatloaf for some reason. They ooze grease no matter what I do. Epic failure in that regard, but I make the best potato salad (the trick is sliced, pimento-stuffed olives).
 
Bottom line is that they will no longer be an American company. And I have always chosen to spend my money on American products whenever possible. Those who choose to buy foreign made products over American have no right to cry, piss and moan over American joblessness.

If liberals would stop taxing the shit out of em they wouldnt have to leave for greener pastures.

tax rates should be competitive. but taxes have to be paid.... by everyone. they should, minimally, pay for what we give their employees to make up for stagnant wages.

Never said they shouldnt pay taxes. But when those taxes become punitive I dont blame em for leaving.
And for you to cry about stagnant wages when your dear leader is flooding the country with illegals is kind of ironic.

taxes shouldn't be punitive. but our taxes, and corporate taxes in particular, are lower than they've been in decades.


That is utter nonsense. The federal marginal corporate tax rate is 35%; states add additional tax burdens.

The companies that are able to lower these amounts are generally big government corporate cronies. Politicians use the tax code to reward friends and punish enemies. The companies truly hurt by this punitive rate are smaller ones without lobbyists in D.C. - the very companies who would normally be creating jobs but are not due to Obamanomics (high taxes, intrusive regulation, state controlled health care, etc.).

that's nice. corporations don't PAY 35%.

I hope that helps.

But they're higher than Canada's.
If we cant be competitive with Canada when it comes to tax rates we're doing something wrong.
It's the same reason we're bailing out when it comes time for the wifes retirement.
If the government hadnt taken so much I'd stay here,but they've made that impossible.
 
actually, if they move off shore, they are EVADING the tax codes. personally, I think they should be taxed to bring their products here at such a high rate that it doesn't pay for them to leave.

as for my congress members, i'm a new Yorker... my representatives already know. and don't blame me for the teatards.

if i were to eat fast food from anywhere now, i would devote my dollars to Burger King

I have to wonder what is wrong with you people? For only this one factor you would go to BK, do you really hate America that much? So I can assume that all the left wingers that are applauding BK will never once again raise on voice of concern when an American company moves off shore. Thank goodness if this is all it takes to shut them up..

Yes they do hate America that much. Over and over, they'll do any thing they can do to harm their own country.

They do business with companies who lie, cheat and steal to hurt the US and/or Americans and then bitch because the US borrows money.

Wish they'd move to Russia, where they belong.

Luddy

Yep. If it hurts America, some RWs are in favor of it.

I think a lot of you anti-America traitors will say the same.

Then y'all can bitch and whine at Obama formaking you fat and giving you diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
:boohoo:

Who would do that? Eat what you want. Sounds like something only you Nanny/Police Staters would do. I don't rely on Government to tell me what to eat or not to eat.

Only idiots and the extremely poor eat at fat food places like BK, McD's etc.



Oh yeah, and now, those RWs who think they can harm the US by eating there. :cuckoo:
@Luddly Neddite Idiot

Should I post those horrendous pics of Perry and Bachmann eating deep fried butter?

Besides subsidizing corporate costs of doing business, besides helping the poor by paying for their food stamps and welfare, besides harming your health - the icing on this cake is that you're supporting socialism in Canada.

Chow down, dupes!

You are the dumb shit that is claiming the RW are the only ones eating fast food.

It is the liberal Warren Buffett that lamented he paid to little taxes, that is spearheading this.

Why are you not addressing the Congress that has failed to close the loop holes. The Democrats, after Reagan left office, started creating all the deductions, tax credits and loopholes and all you focus on is the corporations, they are in business to make money, Congress is elected to make laws, businesses base their decisions off the laws.

Do you expect businesses to ignore the deductions and credits that Congress has made into law?

Dupe!

in Canada they don't pay for food stamps for people working full time at walmart.

So now I have to start eating at Burger King. Cripes.

That way the franchise owner and their employees won't have to suffer as much from the latest ignorant, emotional silliness from, well, you know.

Good grief, I hope they have something decent.

.

Unfortunately, they don't. Their fish sandwich used to be edible, but that was 20 years ago. You can always give it to a homeless person.
 
five guys? not that expensive for what you get. they make a great hot dog, too, btw. as for in and out, no idea what they cost, but people swear by them.

For the first time that I can remember, I actually agree with you.. Five Guys is great, and I love their flat top grilled hot dogs. Just never order a Large Fry. My son and I split a regular size have left overs.
I love thier burgers but their prices are too high IMO. Mostly I don't eat there because their French fries suck. I hate limp soggy French fries.

Burger Fi has better burgers, crispy fries, and ginormous onion rings, and...

AND...

They sell beer!
 
Sonic does make the best shakes over all. As far as making a burger.. I use my meatloaf recipe then cook it on a George Foreman unless I have my outside charcoal grill going. I also make stuffed burgers. Been making those for 30 years, long before the fad.

I haven't had Burger King lunch or dinner in years. However, they have some of the best breakfast around.

Get rid of free trade, seal the borders and deport illegals, and that could work. You can't have free trade, millions of illegals (with no end in sight) AND tax the crap out of your own corporations.

They haven't moved their headquarters yet. When and if they do, I will begin eating at Burger King. Thus effectively canceling out your boycott.

See?

Another America-hating RW thinking he can harm the US by eating garbage.

You people are beyond merely dumb.
See? Your left wing stupidity knows no bounds. The reason I never put you on ignore even though you are an ignorant, racist, partisan hack, is that you are a constant reminder of what democrats really are.

I do not hate Anerica. Unlike you liberal morons, I can differentiate between the country I love and it's screwed up government. I hate the government, especially this current one. There is a difference though I don't expect a moron like you to know that.


You seem to mean well, but you don't quite get it.
Yeah I get it. What's not to get?




We don't go hire foreigners to run our government. We vote for representatives from among ourselves.
