Next they’ll build a wall to keep us in and claim it’s to keep others out.
How dare companies use legal tactics to escape the oppressive taxation of the democrats Wealth redistribution State.
What an insufferable bastard Obama is!
And the same brain dead human lemmings who voted him into the White House twice are ready to vote Big Bottom Rodham in to replace him.
When Obama attacks "inversions" he will support often draconian measures on the basis of "fairness" and equality. The problem is the more "fair" Obama is, the less fair the government is, the more oppressive the government is, the more Obama plays the tyrant.
Putting aside the reality of the rule of unintended consequences, we create an ever more tyrannical apparatus in the illusory hope of achieving equality. In our educational system we create an ineffectual, deadening, achievement killing apparatus in order that all children can be above average.
There can be no progress without inequality. It is the very inequality of capitalism that spawns competition and generates innovation. There can be no ultimate equality in politics without tyranny and there can be no liberty without inequality. (As an aside, it should be noted that there can be no ultimate political or economic equality, that does not exist even in North Korea or in Stalinist Russia.)
Shh... Keep that thought to yourself.
If the democrats had thought of that they would have been demanding that George Bush build The Wall with Mexico back in 2001.
Spot on. He is already creating a virtual wall that makes it much more difficult for expats to establish and maintain bank accounts. Obama's goal seems to be to turn the US into Venezuela with the glorious revolution of socialist equality being the sharing of misery.
I think Obama is only doing this now because of the Trump effect. Trump has used corporate inversion and corporations moving factories to cheaper labor.
Obviously many people on this thread are globalists. I’ll tell you what a nationalist thinks.
- When a corporation in the U.S through whatever means moves to a foreign country, they lose all their intellectual property. Much of that IP comes from government subsidies and tax breaks on R&D, or through Universities — again funded mainly by the Government.
You really want to live in a United States where everything critical to our security and safety is sourced overseas? That’s a recipe for disaster.
It never occurs to libtards to do the simple thing which is to lower corporate taxes and make the U.S. a more attractive place to do business and hire people.
If 1 government lawyer (usually can’t make it in the real world) can dream up a convoluted business regulation then 10 real world business lawyers can figure a way around it. It’s the nature of capitalism.
They need to turn around and work with others to put him in prison
Yup, the wall is going up.
One of the ways you know you’re not in a free country is that you are not allowed to leave.
There's also a legitimate question of what kind of effort Congress is making to fix the problem. Some things are very simple to fix just by inserting a single line into a broader bill that the president can't possibly veto.
I saw this up close over the last couple of years with the trucking industry's complaints about increasingly onerous rules established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The FMCSA rules were legitimately imposed, in that the law establishing the FMCSA gave it the discretionary authority to make these rules for the trucking industry. But it eventually got to the point where a couple of them were seriously impacting the efficiency of the industry.
So ... under pressure from the trucking industry, Congress simply inserted a line in the major budget bill last December that said, in effect: "Rules X and Y imposed by the FMCSA are null and void."
That was the end of it. I deal with Federal bureaucrats as a matter of course in some of my work. For all the legitimate complaints we may have of them, I've never had a case where any of them stepped beyond the statutory limits of their authority.
Bad economics, but good politics.
These moves will be widely popular with vast swaths of the population.
That was so good I’m posting it on my facebook page.

You mean like the TSA, NSA, etc.?

Correction: Funded by U.S. taxpayers, unwillingly and ILLEGALLY, through the Fed. govt.
2: Tax breaks don’t *cost* ‘govt’ squat. Tax breaks are entities keeping their OWN $$.
Here’s one Constitutionalist to a Nationalist: How ‘bout placing blame where blame is due...GOVT.
Fascist, Socialist, nanny-state, bloated, ineffective, unproductive, unconstitutional GOVT.

And show that the Free Market and Freedom/choice WORKS? I want what you’re having/smoking/drinking /s
And the GOP is all for it. Rand Paul is the only candidate that even talked about partially rolling back FATCA.
So, by changing a “rule”, Obama is allowed to change the law.
And here I thought we weren’t beholden to a king any more.
