Burger King's move to Canada could save it $275 million in taxes

-------------------------


Stuff like this pisses me off. Companies born/made in America, reached their success in America, now want to ditch America to save on/avoid paying taxes? That's not right & it should be illegal. Many large companies in America go out of their way to avoid paying taxes & get away w/ it. They pay more to lawyers & accountants to help them find ways to avoid paying taxes than they do paying taxes!

I can't say I won't eat there anymore, b/c I quit eating BK years ago but I wish more ppl would realize how wrong & insulting it is. & then there's this

The report said Burger King is a top food supplier to the U.S. armed forces and its "decision to become a Canadian company will mean that while U.S. military families support Burger King by buying its food, Burger King will no longer support service members by paying its fair share of taxes."

This is what happens when you tax the hell out of companies. Why should they stay here and pay more in taxes?

Don't they have a responsibility to pay their fair share? WE as citizens are expected to pay OUR taxes & if we were to try any of the things companies do to get out of it we'd go to jail.

These companies make millions upon millions of dollars & their success was made possible here! don't they have a duty to give back?

Paying what they owe in taxes is completely different from moving the company to another country because operating costs in the US are too high. But the fact of the matter, in our system, there is no "fair share" because it's inherently not fair. And companies are going to continue to move to other countries where they can do business at a lower cost.
