Q: What’s the difference between Burger King and Obama?
A: One’s a creepy king known for whoppers, and the other’s a fast food chain bolting high taxes.
It’s not that crazy when you understand that the Welfare State beast that the Left depends on needs a constant and ever-growing supply of tax money to live. If the food source is threatened, it will starve. Thus, the freak out when an individual or company gets tired of paying insane levels of tax for transfer payments to subsidize someone else sitting on their ass watching TV.
Ask Kerry about his “yacht inversion” to avoid paying taxes...
Leftists support countries that have guns pointing IN at the borders.
There is nothing decent, civil or moral about insisting that your fellow citizens be a host to your parasitism. Patriotism be damned.
Most obviously, the majority of fast-food customers are probably less inclined than the petitioners of MoveOn.org to mistake high tax rates for patriotism.
NOTE* — Moveon.org was started with funding from George Soros. George Soros is a tax cheat that runs him financial empire from the Cayman Islands.
The left are such hypocritical idiots.
Received a page of BK coupons this week. Whoppers two for one. Just finished one off. Love those Whoppers.
"Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes. Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands."
Judge Learned Hand, Gregory v. Helvering, 69 F.2d 809, 810 (2d Cir. 1934), aff'd, 293 U.S. 465 (1934).
3G Capital bought BK and completely turned it around. It's stores are doing better business, which means that they are paying more taxes. Most of the day-to-day operations will stay in the US, which means the employees are paying taxes. The bottom line is that BK is producing far more tax revenue for the federal and state governments now than they ever were.
Typical liberal hypocrisy.
For at least the last generation democrats have gone berserk over anyone who identified him or herself as a patriot.
Now they are playing the “Patriot Card” on Burger King as if they really cared for America.
If Obozo and those idiots in Washington lowered corporate and personal income taxes to, say, 15%, we'd see the end of this recession over night and an influx of Pacific Rim capital that would make your head swim. But, because the American voting public has the IQ of a gnat, politicians continue to beat the beat-up-the-rich-guy drum. I don't know about you, but I can't recall one time I got a job from a poor person.
Idiots...
if gas station a charges 4 bucks for a gallon of gas, and station b charges 3.50, where ya gonna buy your gas?
I stopped going to Burger King when they let the whoppers out of the closet with pink wrappers.
Good. I’ll go to BK twice as often now.
Canada can have Gayber King! Sorry Canadians! In reality, you will bring in more tax revenue, so good on ya. Shame that in the Land of the Free we tax the living crap out of anything productive.
Haven’t been to BK in ages. Time for a cheese Whopper, fries and a Coke.

“The left’s ridiculous Burger King freakout...”
The left is collectively psychotic and freaks out because the premises under which they operate are full of delusions.
(If they win, then everyone will have to operate under delusion and toe the line of political correctness.)
IMHO
