“The dems should have seen this coming”
It is a tactic of oppressive regimes to threaten the sources of money, including businesses, to motivate those sources to donate and support the regime. This is simply a way to motivate payoffs. You will probably see lobbying efforts that eventually water down or eliminate this threat of taxation. The political contributions to the leftists will go up, however. This is like a political fund drive campaign. This current gov’t wants to create the richest political movement in history. Intimidation and threats are effective fund raising techniques.
This is all typical leftist methodology. If you haven’t seen it before, well, now you are being familiarized with how a corrupt and oppressive regime operates.
Well, I haven’t seen it before. This is my first experience in living under an increasingly fascist dictatorship and I’m not liking it very much.
I had a conversation with one of my liberal friends before the election, and this idea came up then. He said companies should be taxed more heavily for doing business off shore, and my argument was that then they would just relocate. This apparently had not occurred to him. And this idea of massive payoffs had not occurred to me. Although it should have, with the recent Chrysler incident.
Interesting.
