Corporate Tax Evasion

They did once. They started the USA.

I'm pretty sure Dr. A is already here.

Yep, it has. And I think your article gets right to the heart of the matter here: There are so many ways to come up with a figure of your total profit before tax that the amount of tax owed, certainly for any specific year, is a very loose figure. If there is no "right" figure, then there can't really be any "wrong" figure. And hence the inevitable temptation to reduce that figure as much as possible, without any real moral embarrassment.If you are a multinational, and one country presents you with a much lower tax bill than another, then it seems simple common sense to arrange your company such that you take advantage of those lower tax regions.You are still paying tax, sometimes perhaps not much less than you would if you paid it all in say the UK, but you are still paying a bit less. The issue is that country X sees that tax revenue and not the UK.Obvious solution? One World Government. Simples

That's is a shameful dam lie and you know it. That kind of bigotry on your part is why the tea party people absolutely despise people like you no matter what your skin color is.

Yes, but who in their right minds want to emigrate to britain when it is full of Dr Adequate types and ruled by the same? Get rid of those A-wipes and their rulers and we will emigrate like gang busters.

You totally missed it didn't you? That isn't what I am suggesting at all. If you simplify the tax code, there are no loopholes that will let you "evade" taxes. BTW, they aren't evading anything. That is why the term is in quotes. Just take a look at a good dose of the proposed legislation and that that has been put into law in the last 50 years. The utopia that those laws were intended to create is what I am talking about.

And on that note, I'm out of here for a few days. I've had just about all I can stand of uppity liberals. You people don't have the slightest cue about humility and think you are better than everyone else who doesn't think like you do as far as the liberal party line goes. You people have such a distorted view of reality, it's very hard to have any common ground whatsoever. If there was a way for you to live on another planet, I wish you and obama and pelosi and reed and all the other leftist leaders around the world would go there.

What part of his post were you referring to as a lie? What is the bigotry you displayed that causes you to despise him?You are defeating your own argument with posts like this?Ready
Wait for it...ABE
Knew it wouldn't take him long to jeer this. I see he is jeering every post on the thread. What a loser.Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.

Lets just let that comment stand on its own.All, I can say is wow. Are there people that are really that so unself-aware?

Let's hope that those 'A-wipes' stay in the UK then.

I believe there are about 7 million of them as of 2010. And if our 'tea party' types are to be believed, its a number that's growing wildly out of control.I know facts won't get in the way of your current Hate Week, but I thought there's a chance you might like to know.

Uppity yours, too, FEY!

Strictly speaking it is tax avoidance.Tax evasion is illegal.

We think that because we are better.

What jobs are they creating by running up the bank accounts of investors? Corporations in the US (and possibly the UK) are sitting on tons of cash right now, but they aren't hiring.If the money is taken as tax, then where does that money go? Back into the economy either through hiring federal employees or work projects. Even sending that money back out as welfare is more helpful to the economy than having that money stagnate in a bank account. At least that is what my limited economic knowledge leads me to suspect.
