Wave of corporations leaving US

[Tommy Tainant]

Keep taxing them and regulating them.....they'll keep moving out of the country. They are corporations and their responsibility is the bottom line

Wait till Trump becomes president. EVERYONE must pay taxes don't like it? Don't own a business. These companies are TRAITORS to the US and its citizens they have no problem sending their crap back here to make a profit but they aren't good enough to pay taxes on that profit here.

Sorry but a corporation isn't bound to doing business in the USA, make regulations and taxing them more conducive to doing business here. Their responsibility is to the shareholders

Ok - I thought that they were doing business in the US but moving HO to Dublin in order to dodge taxes.

Don't want to base your business here and hire Americans don't expect to freely sell your product here. Simple.

Some do and that is their right to do so. Corporations are not in business to be social warriors, they are in business to make money

Are you saying no company can import products? That goes both ways

No, it's not just "in order to dodge taxes" it's because the total cost of doing business is LOWER if they do that (taxes are part of the equation), in other words it's a good business decision which makes NOT doing it a bad business decision. If we want to avoid this situation then we need to adopt regulatory and taxation policies which make it a good business decision to stay and a bad business decision to leave, in other words make the U.S. cost competitive with the rest of the world.

Exactly, and when they dont care about the Nation that helped them along the way we have a problem because by their very nature they are only out for themselves.

Not their employees, not America...not even Americans

So why defend them when their mission is to get as much as they can even if its on your back?

 

[G.T.]

They must be thinking Bernie will get the Presidency. If Bernie gets the Presidency, it will be like a giant vacuum sucking all the corporations out of the country.

yupp, exactly.

The left isn't helping anything by making exorbitant wage demands either, if a company is faced with paying an employee 15-20 bucks an hour in the USA or paying 2 bucks an hour in Mexico you know where they are building their next facility

Tariffs can also be imposed upon goods manufactured in the US and shipped to be sold and consumed in other countries.

I invest in them, I was smart enough to join the game, you can't beat them so don't try

 

[OnePercenter]

Well, we have a global economy now. That's what our politicians wanted. NAFTA and all that. Most of our shoes and clothing have long been manufactured overseas. I've even seen fruit and vegetables from Mexico on the shelves at my local Walmart. We are butt-deep in trade agreements. Those Nikes you have on your feet were made overseas. Are you going to put a huge tariff on Nikes and run the price for a pair of them even higher on the consumer?

That would be Reagan.

Be a giant vacuum when their products aren't allowed back in unless a HUGE tariff is paid on them.

And how will you feel when that huge tariff is added to the price of the product and the consumer has to pay it if they want it.

Fucking bastards. I hope the Trump administration gives them ALL 6 months to get their asses back here and hire Americans or the tariffs on their products will put them out of business ASAP

Yeah heaven forbid businesses pursue decisions which make the most business sense, far better that they all make STUPID business decisions in the name of patriotism lest they risk the wrath of the authoritarian miscreants in the federal government.

ON THE OTHER HAND

Maybe if the miscreants in Washington didn't work so hard at making the domestic business climate so hostile with regulation and taxation it wouldn't make so much business sense to pick up stakes and seek greener pastures elsewhere.

"Things that make you go hmmmm" -- C+C Music Factory

Yep as usual blame the country and not the rich overpaid assholes doing their duty and paying taxes. Fuck off.

As usual blame the businesses that provide all the things you need to survive and ignore the fact that the policies that so please the uniformed masses are driving their source of sustenance off shore.... here's a clue for you, when all the business are gone let me know how eating your bloated government works out, K?

Business should pay its share of the tax bill. They benefit from all the things that taxes provide.

And businesses don't pay taxes now?

Companies will step up and make stuff here and employ Americans to fill the void left by the traitor companies going away. We already pay higher prices..shit happens companies WILL NOT be allowed to get away with this.

Liberal logic says to tax the corporations and businesses. Brilliant. Place more of a tax burden and government regulations on the hand that feeds you. They already pay their fair share of taxes are regulated beyond reason. It is business and corporations that employ people. Corporations provide an investment for their employees, the elderly, and other stockholders. Many elderly live off their stock investments. Many corporations offer a stock investment incentive for their own employees while paying them a decent wage to boot. It is the corporations, the businesses, and the successful individuals who are paying most of the taxes that provide for all the entitlement programs already in place in America.

The effective corporate tax rate in the U.S. is 12.6%. How much did you pay?

Which regulations do you write of? Blade guards for meat slicers?

 

[OnePercenter]

Business should pay its share of the tax bill.

Define "its share"

They benefit from all the things that taxes provide.

Businesses don't pay taxes they just collect them, consumers (in the form of higher prices), employees (in the form of lower wages) and shareholders (in the form of lower returns) are the ones that pay them.

......and EVERYONE benefits from the output of businesses because through the act of voluntary exchange both parties receive something which is of greater value to them than the price paid (mutual profit) so just by being in business entrepreneurs return far greater value to society as a whole than does any government.

"it's share" is the same percentage of income/revenue as you do.

Businesses DO pay taxes on income from selling a product or service. The collecting would be sales tax.

...but the economy is doing so well? Why would they leave?

Seriously, I love Trump's idea of imposing such a high tariff on the goods these people will try to bring back into the country (to sell to the people they laid off in order to go overseas to take advantage of slave labor) that it is counter productive for them to do so. At the same time I would not want such a tariff to give all the power to / allow US workers to demand a ridiculously high wage.

The problem is that the only way such a tariff / tax could / would be imposed is if Trump used an EO to do so. Our career politicians are bought and paid for, so they would never do it.

Thats the answer! Get Americans to work for $2 bucks an hour. We must! To help the corporations!

This sounds like the logic of a spouse thats been cheated on....Just take more bullshit and maybe he'll stay with his cheating ass

 

[PaintMyHouse]

Its happening in the UK. Corporations run the world and not politicians who are generally not as bright.

Google just negotiated an effective 3% tax rate in the UK under a sweetheart deal with the tories. The rate for everyone else is 20%.
All governments need to come together to fight the corporations.
