Why do companies move to other countries to escape the highest taxes in the world?

Cheap labor and no regulations.

Corporations don’t pay taxes. Ever.

Who passed the laws to ensure that corporations don’t pay taxes....those politicians should be put out of office and replaced. It is a sin that corporations don’t pay and even worse get a refund? WTF! I made 129 thousand in 2014 and not only paid income tax throughout the year but had to write a check to the federal government for 5,050 and one to Maryland (my last one) for 1,700. How the heck is that fair?????

Explain yourself. A corporation pays its employees and shareholders based on their profits.

This is a classic liberal end game.

Excessive corporate taxation forces them to move to a foreign soil to protect profit margins and those who are for/vote excessive taxation moan about them leaving.

You can lead a liberal to water, but you can't make them think.

Anyone who isn’t doing everything they can to pay as little taxes as possible is a blithering idiot.

Without that corporation the employees and shareholders would be non-existent. Is that the liberal dream?

I have another question for you.

Why do you consider income taxation a good thing in this United States of America?

Why would they? They have operating costs and profits which go to their employees and shareholders. The employees and shareholders pay those taxes.

No, all business taxes are paid by their CUSTOMERS. I am wearing my Economist hat right now. Taxes are ALWAYS passed on in the prices of goods and services. . . that is where the funds come from in the first place.

there's a difference between "avoidance" and "evasion", the former is legal, the latter is a crime

You are correct in the fact that rising taxes fall on the consumer. The taxes also fall on the employee and the shareholder, which in instances could be one in the same.

Explain to me why the government needs this money.

Notice how General Electric(D) isn't on that list? They paid $0.00.

And General Electric followed the law exactly as written. The did not evade taxation, or even cheat on their tax returns. They followed the laws as written. . . you are swallowing the Socialists talking points just as they want you to. Keep shoveling it in, until you believe everything they feed you.

Did you ever wonder why????
—e W H A T! if ANY , is the percentages,of these corps
are guilty of this Tax Scam? What Senate & Congress VOTED
for these loopholes? What Donations did THEY get?
WHAT Loop Holes are they using to do this?
```What IRS (and when did they start and by what party?)
Loop Holes did they claim they used to accomplice this?
———————————What it from some 1919 Revenue bills
STILL being used to day? WAS it the OLD, IF I take any profits
and Immediately used to for NEW Equipment, and re-invest it in my company>?? is THAT their reasoning?
-———————————What PRESIDENT signed these bills and what Party Lobbied hard to these Get-Free-Money-Back Rebates? -—HOW”
————————————Or was it the “ My Company’s Majority is IN ANOTHER COUNTRY!
-—And WHAT LAW FIRMS lobbyist were involved in this?
-———WHAT PARTY received Major CORP. DONATIONS & from WHAT Companys played a part.

I KNOW, there are Stockholders, I also know that Some of the bigger Companies , Say “oil”- must spend BILLIONS in building Oil Tanks, BUILDING billion $ Platforms ,or DID they moved to a low industrial Areas to bring jobs to that state? Did the get kickbacks: No Tax. WHAT NATIONS did they move to?

There maybe some very needed reason for slow taxes/no taxes——B U T ! : GETTING A REBATE at ALL is Really a slap in the face.

—————————WHERE IS THE TRANSPARENCY !!!

p.s.” EVIL WILL PREVAIL IF ALL GOOD MEN STAND BY AND DO
NOTHING! Let us NOT have another “Ross Perot “ instance: breaking the votes first! RNC? are you hearing this? AND 7 million registered Republicans DID NOT VOTE!! : Because they merely DIDN’T LIKE McCain ?
That’ how Bam got in!! Well, HILDerBEAST is on her way!!
I Hope the DNC get MANY OTHER DEMS to R U N - and split HER ticket!
