Obama Calls Out American Companies For 'Gaming The System'

[Lakhota]

In a CNBC interview on Wednesday, President Barack Obama took aim at corporate inversions -- deals where a U.S. company keeps its operations at home, but moves its formal address overseas to avoid paying taxes.

"Companies thrive in the United States in part because they benefit from the best university system in the world, the best infrastructure," Obama said. "There are a whole range of benefits that have helped to build companies, create value, create profits. For you to continue to benefit from that entire architecture that helps you thrive, but move your technical address simply to avoid paying taxes, is neither fair, nor is it something that's going to be good for the country over the long term."

[Mad Scientist]

Wait.

Obama says we need money to repair "crumbling infrastructure and crumbling schools" yet says in this interview that "America has the best infrastructure and schools" in the world.

Why do you Liberals keep supporting this duplicitous fraud?

 

[Pennywise]

The fact that the Idiot-in-Chief can make these kinds of ridiculous arguments, says more about the morons who listen to him, than it does about him.

Kill the Kulaks!!

 

[whitehall]

Only an incompetent former community activist would use a phrase like "gaming the system" while he supports the gamers and the system. Low information lefties fueled by breathless and desperate Huffington blogs fall for the camouflage of attacking corporations while American foreign policy is falling apart on the 6 o'clock news. No surprises here.

Companies write the Bills that Congress and the President passes that lower rates for those businesses.

 

[Redfish]

The system is only being gamed because the tax code allows it. The tax code was written mostly by the democrats that have controlled congress for most of the last 80 years.

The fix is simple, stop sending democrats to congress---also stop sending rinos.

only after a large number of legal bribes have been provided to congressmen

you're under the belief that republicans would close tax loopholes for companies and cause a net increase in corporate taxation?

 

[Lakhota]

Anyone with half a brain knows that U.S. companies have been gaming the system for a long time.

So, not only are religious institutions gaming the system - now U.S. companies are doing the same.

They ALL should be paying taxes.
