“Burger King’s decision to abandon the United States means consumers should turn to Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers or White Castle sliders. Burger King has always said ‘Have it Your Way’; well my way is to support two Ohio companies that haven’t abandoned their country or customers,” YET
If it works for burger King I am sure a lot of them will move.
Is it any worse for Burger King to do this than for Marylanders to move to States who do not tax their retirement?
I don't blame Burger King.

I don't know who Sherrod Brown is, but I'm referring to anyone who is butthurt over any company that seeks tax inversion opportunities. Capitalism breathes through loopholes like tax inversion.

What about wealthy politicians that look for tax loopholes, and put their money in overseas banks? Is that different? Yes, it is because we live in the HS of A; Hypocritical States of America. Hopefully, we will boycott some of these political dumdums by voting them out in 2014/16.

I love quizzes.
The answer is Kerry. One of the biggest hypocrites in our government. Oh, and inept, too. Why am I not surprised?

There are no tax loopholes people. Tax laws are specifically written. Do you really think that after all the committees these laws go through to actually get voted on and written by the
benefiting corporations, there are loopholes. Everything is intended exactly as written and included..... or not.
Instead of complaining of companies moving to avoid taxes, complain about them moving their manufacturing out of the country. Now that is a more serious loss than avoiding taxes.
The federal govt can just print more money if they need it, but a good wage paying manufacturing job can not! U.S. manufacturing plants fell from 375,000 in number in 1998 to
304,000 in the first quarter of 2012. Maryland has lost 25,000 manufacturing jobs since August 2007. Such as from the General Motors factory in Baltimore, the Solo Cup plant in
Owings Mills and the steel mill at Sparrows Point all made things for decades. And all closed in the past 10 years.
Or maybe you consider making a hamburger to be a manufacturing job?
