What we need to do if they do leave this country is to do a total boycott so they go broke.  Perhaps if we would do that to each business that moves their jobs overseas then we can have the tax dollars needed to rebuild our country that made this corporation rich.  We need the people in this country to stand up and tell corporate America that we will no longer put up with their bullshit.

  Its simple, send them a message if they won't pay the taxes they owe to the American people then the American people should respond by not buying anything from them.   We know the government won't do anything to help as long as the tea party holds sway.
I realize high taxes are not an issue for you, but some of us pay through the nose, and we're tired of it.  Same for corporations where the US has the highest tax rate in the world.   Like I said...corporations are in business to make a profit for their shareholders.   I realize that's a concept lost on someone like you who worked for a government entity.
The FACTS are that corporate taxes are at the lowest levels since WWII, and corporate profits have already recovered even from the economic collapse of 2008.

As for Burger King's Canada connection, I read more about it. They're doing this by purchasing Tim Horton's.  When I visited Canada a couple of years ago, I stopped several times in Tim Horton's stores. They're like our Dunkin Donuts. I just hope for Canada's sake that Burger King doesn't ruin them.

Here's another thing - the right keep talking about the evil President Obama and his horrible taxes on corporations. Here is the chart of corporate tax rates for America through 2013. Look at the corporate tax rates during boom times for America, and look at what they are today. these claims that this President is taxing corporations out of business are pure bullshit. The last time corporate tax rates were as low as they are now was in the immediate aftermath of WWII.

This is all bullshit and greed. Corporations in America HAVE recovered from the Bush era economic collapse. The only people still hurting are the working class and the poor, and that's neither because of the basic economy or because of US taxes - it's because of corporate greed.  You want to reduce US corporate taxes even more? Fine. I'd support that - IF in the same bill, tax penalties for US corporations who offshore and tariffs on imports from any country whose treatment of workers is even worse than ours are included.
BK has closed around 300 stores during that great recovery you claim obama the savior initiated in America after the housing crash caused by congressional over regulation and forced mortgage scam. The idea that if you tax corps to death while regulation them out of business makes for a good economy is a leftie wet dream that isn't based in reality. Google Canada tax reduction to get a look at what it did for their country's economy, then see CA's corp tax increase to see what it did to their economy.  The evil greedy corps you lefties despise are leaving the country, that should make you happy. Besides, it doesn't matter how much the government raises taxes or how much it takes in each year they have never come in on budget, always overspend and always just borrow more money for whatever they want without regard for fiscal responsibility or how much they're screwing the tax payers.
As I said - if they want to leave, let them - but take all their stores with them, and make room for others who want to be here. You think American taxes suck so you want to go to another country, good - go. Just don't expect to make your profits here while you pay your taxes there. I know that's not going to happen - because the law is fouled up and supports this kind of greed. But it should be that way.
Yeah, you don't work for BK so why should you care how many thousands of people get laid off permanently and lose their income, their benefits and their future. Fuck em right ? How about all the Tim Hortons in the US, they're Canadian owned, should we throw them out too? Maybe if we tax the corps enough and bully them enough we can get rid of the majority of corps and they can be replaced with small mom and pop companies that can afford the start up costs in the US that make it almost impossible to start a business. Your hatred will drive corps out and jobs out dd and drive the country broke, all out of greed and hatred for a foolish agenda that says if you tax the crap out of corps all of Americas problems will be solved.
If BK goes to Canada, and takes all their stores with them, someone else will start a business here to fill the void.  My problem with them and companies like them is that they want all the benefits of doing business in the US and none of the responsibilities.
Yeah, sure, just like all the manufacturing jobs that went to mexico and china were replaced by other manufacturing jobs. Keep telling yourself that pretty lie  and keep refusing to learn from history past and present that proves raising taxes drives jobs out of the country and reducing taxes brings them back.
you can't understand the difference between manufacturing jobs and consumer retail jobs. If Burger King went away, there would still be a market for burgers.  Existing chains would expand and perhaps another new one would  initiate.  The market is here. There's a reason they're only talking about moving their corporate HQ and not their stores, you twit.

instead of creating a business friendly tax system - which while collecting less taxes in the short run, will actually bring in more taxes in the long run in other tax bases.... businesses will employ more people who pay taxes... they will buy more products which will bring in more taxes... businesses will grow which brings in more real estate taxes.... instead the government being greedy and taxing businesses and people to death and then spending even more than they bring in....
Liberals openly and enthusiastically support taxing and regulating the hell out of 'evil' corporations, and then gasp in outraged astonishment when those same corporations finally throw up their hands and move to friendlier countries. 
Then liberals wonder why conservatives think liberals are so stupid.

What I hate is pure greed - capitalists and corporations which put MORE profit ahead of workers and consumers when they are doing very well already - as Burger King IS. Now, unless you can demonstrate that you even have a little understanding of what's actually happening rather than just spitting venom at those who dare to disagree with you, we're done here.
130  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Burger King Dares Obama To Stop It From Fleeing to Canada on: August 30, 2014, 03:02:15 PM
By the way, as much as you think those corps pay taxes out of the ceo pay or hope they have enough profits at the end of the year to pay them, the truth is they roll the cost of taxes into the price you pay for goods and services so the higher the taxes the more you pay out of your pocket. Its your money those corps use to pay the feds, idiot.
And which is more profitable for the government, paying unemployment benefits to a worker that no longer pays income taxes or lowering corp taxes to keep jobs in the US?
And my problem with people like you is that you sit there and pretend to give a shit about "all those workers" and yet, you absolutely oppose them getting a living wage.  You aren't fooling anyone. All you do is lick the boots of corporate masters.
The government job is safe so what do you care how many thousands lose theirs, if that's what it takes to support your messiah and promote your hatred for greedy corps you'll do it no matter how stupid you have to make yourself.
I have said it a thousand times. I don't oppose profit in the least. I think it's what makes the economy go. I don't hate corporations in general - there are still SOME corporations which DO treat workers well and respect the consumers.
131  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Burger King Dares Obama To Stop It From Fleeing to Canada on: August 30, 2014, 02:57:04 PM
Second, like I said, you're a hypocrite and a phony with your idiot claim that I didn't care about the people who would lose their jobs if Burger King closed all their stores when you are one of the voices here who have clearly and loudly expressed your disgust for those workers when they ask for a living wage.  I have no "messiah", you twit, and bringing that silliness up is just another defense mechanism for you - a knee-jerk insult because you're too fucking stupid to come up with an actual reasoned argument.

if they think they wont hold any responsibility for counterfeit items or any other wrong illegal activity they are clearly wrong and shouldnt go about it this way.  wasnt piratebay kinda decentralized also and look what happened to it?
Exactly what happened to it?
I'm using it this very moment.
The point of decentralized here would be that they don't hold responsibility, which is great (based on some sort of trust system from what I've read).

but that means they cant collect no profit from it whatsoever?  Also if they wanted to advertise on the site that might be the only way they can make money am I right?  But still they will have to have a team of lawyers and they will have to share or hand over the network, also it can be shutdown by the higher ups is the next question.

Screenshot from this Lithuanian payment processor (bitmarket.lt/mistertango.com/payweb.lt; don't ask me why they use three different brands, but it's the same company):


Screenshot from BitPay:



Find 5 differences? I think not...

I don't see anything inherently bad in copying, but there are two very different things:

1. Copying something, and improving/changing/adding new features.

2. Copying something, and then selling the identical copy for a higher price than the original thing cost. This is because as you see in the screenshots, they ask more BTC for the same amount of FIAT (both invoices were generated at the same time).

I wanted to inform you of this, and also to hear your opinions. Is this kind of copying acceptable, or not?

so if someone copy someones else idea, is there a problem with that?  Competition makes the market healthy and helps out with the advertising aspect of it also.
