How do you feel about Burger King moving its Headquarters (broker, how much)

[Chance and Change]

How do you feel about Burger King moving its headquartes to Canada to avoid paying Taxes. Remember, it is and was the American System supported by Tax Dollars, that allowed such as Burger King to Exist.
How many years have they gotten tax breaks the average citizen can't get, how many government benefits have they gained over the term of their existence. How much has it benefitted from Government Inspected Meats and Foods and everything else it benefitted from.
How many of its employees rely on public assistance to makeup for being under paid.
How many people does it rely on to fill the jobs it needs to have done, and how much of the public rely on those jobs being filled to be able to provide your the service the business offers you.

Yes, they want to run and avoid taxes, rather than pay their fair share to a nation that helped it grow, and the people of this nation it has used for decades by underpaying them, and building into their business plan, how to underpay people and plot to insure that public assistance picks up the slack, while they retain the profits.

We need to think!!!!!!

If they move their headquarters to Canada, then we have an options. Not to Patronize their Business !!!

If we don't begin to send the message that we won't accept being used by the greedy executive and their greed games. Then and only then will Busines be forced to Respect America and the American People and the American System.

The roads are not built for free, nor the street lights and all the various thihns Burger King enjoys of American's expense in building its infrastructure, but Burger King does not want to pay taxes to support these things, or to pay taxes to support their employees pay being part factored to make use of public assistance programs.

Yep, We can live without eating Burger King. When American stop supporting them, their global aim of growth will be curtailed greatly when people learn the truths of their executive aims.

Nothing will change. People will clamor on about "freedom" and free market "capitalism."

People may not think much about it, but it is definately time to re-consider what the University is Teaching over the past 30 yrs. They have taught profit at any cost. The loss of ethic, the loss of national integrity, the lost of respect for community, the loss of respect for citizens and everything is about 'INSTANT GREED", instant gluttoy and instant fantasy chasing by any means at any cost.

People are concerned about executive bonuses, executive titles, and all the flash and bling they equate with success. Currently Success has lost all concern for Character, Integrity and Humanity. We see it in the entertainment world, of the cariciture skin flashing and the too small suits all aimed at emphasisng some sensual sexual aspect. Nothing has substance, the billigerence in even the commercial advertisement to the anything goes mentality.

The Result is a Devestated Nation, loss of direction, apathy about our pathway and we become a target of many sorts.
Greed gouging, hiding money offshore while the nation itself crumbles, for lack of circulation and re-circulation of those funds. We watch as people now claim the ownership of billions and 10's of billions, while we still have a mass of American earning less than $12 per hour and many stuck at minimum wage. When the basic cost of living hovers around the necessity to earn $14-17 per hr. Result, we have no savings, no investing and no contribution to either civic or church or even youth activities. But still we have companies being bought and sold like its trading cards, for billions upon billions.
Who's the winner. BANKS, ATTORNEYS, BROKERS, TRADERS AND EXECUTIVES GRABBING WHAT THEY CAN WHILE THEY INDEBT THE COMPANY BEYOND ANY REASONABLE ABILITY TO FUNCTION.

When we see the tax dodge, it is all driven to support BANKS, ATTORNEYS, BROKERS, TRADERS AND EXECUTIVE GRABBING WHAT THEY CAN WHILE THEY INDEBT THE COMPANY BEYOND ANY REASONABLE ABILITY TO FUNCTION; because they have the power to dictate to the CEO how to be a criminal.

Take away and make the congress pass laws, that no CEO can be Chairman of the Board, nor can they be Company President, this will diminish the delusional abuse of power the CEO has abused. The CEO cannot attend Board Meetings, they can only get a report of the Board's Summary and Recommendations. The CEO cannot over-ride the President, without Board Approval. This is how we tame these Criminal CEO. No company will be led into continual cycles of being over-leveraged and taking over companies it cannot afford to support and sustain as they were before being taken over.

We as people have choices. We can avoid patronizing business who do not promote American Made Products, We can avoid business who move offshore to hide from paying taxes, we can choose to avoid purchases that defeat America.

We need not let our callousness continue to bring the nation down, nor can we continue to let out disregard for our power to change the course become a dominant passivity that ultimately destroyes, our lives.

At what point do we say, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
We know how to become less duped by Political 'Rebel Rousing", and Political smoke and drama sequences. All we have to do is pay attention to the facts in our daily lives.

If you see the stock market continuing to gobble up companies and crash them and spit out the pieces, while the executives, banks and attorneys, brokers and traders walk away claiming record profit. Do we realize we have the power to change that?

If we don't understand our power, then we are doomed to become victims of the madness. America has been a dumping ground for Foreign Goods. WHY? It's simple, because we accept it and we purchase it. PERIOD.

Do we have the self control to stand up and deny these purchase and change it. "Buy American", and before long American companies will ramp up production. IF companies take on debt by being caught in the stock broker game, we can rectify that too. By ceasing to purchase, until they rid themselves of the CEO who become dumb enough to encumber the company to such a degree. This over time, will rule out the CEO greed when they learn that people will no longer stand for them, over-leveraging companies and destroying jobs with crazy mergers.

It's a choice we have but one options. Close your wallet and aviod place which have lost the regard for American citizens and their purchasing activity. Otherwise, we become used as pawns in the greed games of the University Trained Goon System.

Patronize business who hire Americans and Patronize Business who support American Industry, Patronize Business who respect its employees and pay them a living wage.
Avoid business who have their shelves stocked with Imported Chinese Goods, and Demand that the big box stores use and supply their shelves with NO LESS THAN 60% of their goods MADE IN AMERICA.

Think about it; becaue all of us can live without Burger King... but Burger King seems to not understand that. We may need return to the Mom and Pop Hamburger Stands, because we know they make burgers with care and they use fresh and good ingredients.
Realize the power you have within the choice of where and how your spend your money.

I doubt there will be a issue if you'd choose to immigrate to Canada. Now the Canadians may have a problem with you, once they come to see that you have aversion to paying taxes, but you want to utilize the things that tax dollars support.

Canada may find itself in for a big shock,if and when this nations addresses the fact that Canada survives and thrives on American buying their exports. When American comes to the point to take back their industry and produce what it needs within its own borders. Canada may find another surprise when it comes time to contribute to its own National Security in ways that it has enjoyed American covering a vast porition of those cost.

But, if you want to go there, you don't even need a plane ticket, just load a pick up truck and start driving North.

Exactly, more open markets means the good with the bad. Nobody is going to pass up a whopper because the company now wears toques.
