It's from your argument...However with your vast knowledge of helping couples that make 37k with their taxes, I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult for you. I'm sure it's exactly the same. Broad strokes. Broad strokes.

No one is saying post inversion that they don't pay US taxes. What people are saying is that companies will keep every semblance of a HQ in the US but will re-establish themselves as a foreign company and thus avoid paying tax on their WW income. US corporate rates are way more than most modern companies which is what is leading many companies to inversion. Do you think that Burger King just wanted to buy that company up in Canada? I'm sure they wanted their market share but it doesn't take a fool to see that they also calculated the savings by moving their "corporate HQ" to Canada. And again, our government's stance on re-patriating money just continues to fuel it. Most companies earn most of their money offshore. They aren't enticed by our government to bring that money back to the US. I lived overseas for 5 years and the company purposely funded it through offshore dollars due to this.
Again, I don't blame the companies or the individuals. The companies are trying to maximize their value and what they return to shareholders. Individuals are trying to maximize their wealth. If you have an issue with it, look at Washington.

I think we're on the same page. I just get tired of hearing "tax breaks for corporate jets" and "moving their headquarters overseas to avoid US tax".
I've yet to have anyone point out the code section they're referring to when they say "tax breaks for corporate jets." And the inversion process is far more complicated, and has many nuances that don't involve "moving the corporate HQ offshore".

So Bill, LEK, and ymmot31 arguing tax codes. Surprise!
Glad the little girl got hers and enjoyed it. Awesome stuff really!

Actually, what you are saying is inconsistent with economic theory. In theory, Pepsi, Snapple, RC, etc., would lower prices to try and capture more market share and take advantage of the fact that Coke was selling its products at a very high margin. This would ultimately force Coke to lower its price in order to sell the amount of product it needs to sell. In a competitive market, companies cannot extract extra-normal profits. High profits attract competitors to your industry which ultimately increase competition and reduce price.
Yup. And people tend to be outraged by the low end (this) or the high end (corporate jets, IRS Rule 402.11CJB ("Corporate Jets for Billionaires"). Never hear people complain about things like the mortgage deduction, child tax credits, and college tax credits, probably because they take advantage of those and so they're legit (somehow) more than poors and richers.
Wait, are you saying the consequences of sex were a surprise to her the first time, but the second time she should have been on special alert? Was she homeschooled? Is she that kid from "Room?"
Which is what happens when republicans get along with democrats. I prefer them hating each other if we're going to drop that much coin on the minimum wage workers.
My wife worked at a local preschool and this describes one of her "colleagues" at the time to a tee.
Two kids. A live in boyfriend. Works 30 hours a week. Goes to sullivan university.
Asked not to get a raise when the evaluations came up.
I hear the folks that claim people should try to break even on their taxes and for middle income people I agree. But the poor, this is the only way they can save money sometimes. Be it from not being disciplined enough with their money or what, but that lump sum at the beginning of they year is what gets them cars, apartments, etc. The notion that they could earn interest on that money is sort of silly. While they coould, the 8 dollars in interest they would earn doesn't out weigh having a large sum of money at a certain time of the year.
If they would just call it "Unearned Income Credit" I wouldn't have as much problem with it.
Exactly. If you think idiots like saguaro and lek don't take advantage of the tax breaks they are given, then you don't need to read these threads. Some people are too stupid to live.
I'm pretty sure that is the whole point. I haven't seen a post where anyone is angry with her. Just tired of socialist policies running the country into the ground. Then we express that and have morons on here defending the ish.
Doesn't change the fact that taxpayers are paying for her bad decisions. #feelingthebern
Forced? She was raped twice? I change my mind. If she had two rape babies then I'm okay with her receiving taxpayer money. Poor girl, hero really.
Bigot. As long as we are comparing, you know those companies did that the 19 *****, mooch didn't do? They employed thousands of people and cost the American tax payer zero dollars. In fact, if you count the taxes paid by employees of said companies (jobs that wouldn't exist if not for those companies), the companies are responsible for creating millions in tax revenue. The mooch and other like her are quite the opposite. Contribute nothing, bleed the system dry.
I'm guessing that you don't get us sometimes because you a) haven't taken the time to think about the subject logically or b) aren't smart enough to think logically.
I agree with this. I would much rather her get help than somebody who is not even trying. My biggest gripe is that we live in a society that encourages behavior that leads you unwed mothers having to struggle.
Lol. For some reason when I read 160k mile suv I pictured a crappy for explorer.
You and me are paying for corporations taxes no matter what. I just wish the left would stop lying about it and using it as a bulltish talking point. Government spending is the problem. We can argue about which spending needs to be cut but we can't do that until you get passed the lie that low taxes is the problem.
None of this strawman arguement changes the fact that if you raise their taxes they will find a way to recoup that cost through things like higher prices and lower wages.
Perhaps it would be better if they were forced to learn from their mistakes instead of receiving an annual bail out.
Well, isn't that sw
My bad, I'm sure a lot of people put people on ignore and then read everything they write. By the way, your predilection with me fondling your balls is misplaced. I am not like you in that respect. I cast no judgment though, your homosexual fantasies don't affect me. Try and keep your kids healthy in the midst of your drunken stupor. I know you can't, but at least make a sober try/
Value Added Tax, popular in Europe. Basically taxes are incurred on products as them move through the supply chain and blind to the consumer. That way it can be easily increased over time without it being too noticeable.
It seems to me democrats are okay with people that would otherwise be borderline homeless getting tax breaks to live a still relatively low income life but don't like massive corporations receiving hundreds of millions of dollars worth of tax breaks. It seems Republicans feel the opposite. So what party is there for those that think both aren't the best option and we should meet somewhere in the middle? Where's the party that's both socially liberal (AKA I don't care if gay people want to marry and I think pot should be legal) and fiscally conservative? Why can't there be one? I feel like that would be the most popular one to be honest. It doesn't exist. Instead with have to deal with bat-ish crazy people like pikespeak who will defend a politician who doesn't even care about him like he's a blood brother. Politics suck, and this is a great thread to show why. Its just disheartening and depressing and makes it difficult to even care. I mean am I supposed to be voting between Trump and Clinton? Seriously? Those are my choices? Jesus Christ this country sucks now. [sick]
VAT sucks... it's basically like paying 10-25 % flat sales tax on everything all the damn time; this is on top of your ~40% income tax.
That's what european socialism looks like, but then you don't have this problem to begin with with much lower teenage pregnancy rates and they wouldn't be getting "your" money anyway in some 8k refund ... is it chicken or egg?

I am also happy she is working. I have seen lots of able bodied people given a house to live in, food to eat, free medical care, grants for utilities and a monthly check for whatever. Then there is the part where the kids are raised with out discipline or any nurturing so they can function in life. The kids drag down school scores from not applying themselves and then you have generation two on welfare. It is a vicious cycle. At least this young woman is teaching her children the value of working.
Well, after reading his grammar, syntax, and spelling, there is no greater lock than he is on multiple government benefits.
Eh, you can have a VAT or any other type of consumption tax in lieu of an income tax.
