Give me a break.

Corporate executives have golden parachutes and risk nothing when they make decisions that affect 1000's of lives. When they choose to move overseas there is no personal risk what so ever. Cary Fiorina made millions running HP into the ground with bad decision after bad decision.

Corporate America at the highest levels is one of the most socialistic systems in history.

The CEO of Carrier was asked to name specific regulations and taxes that forced their decision to shut down and move production to Mexico. He couldn’t name any.

Trump can’t assume FL residence status because to get the Homestead exception you have to live in FL fully for 6 months out of the year .. no time out of state. No returning to NYC weekly, as he does.

I’ve know people who purposely live there for the 6 months for the tax benefit, and others who have 2nd homes in FL who don’t exercise that option ... personal choice, and depends on how much the tax factor is to each person.

Trump couldn’t afford to stay in FL for 6 straight months, leaving his NY and worldwide empire alone.

To keep them off his back, would me my guess. In NYC you have to pay democrats for that. In 2009 Trump was building a golf course in Virginia. He gave the campaigns of both candidates running for Governor $25K. I do not think it was to influence anything except keeping them off his back.

Likely “all of them” would have been a good one.

You will get no arguement from me that we over regulate and over tax domestic companies.

Obviously you can’t effectively research. Believing some Cruz lies are you? Trump will win and you can cry about it as I’m sure you will. Hope you have a nice supply of tissues.
Wisdom comes with age. You have long way to go.

I have no idea but ask Rush Limbaugh now many days you have to be in New York City to be liable for taxation as a NYC resident

Trump is an exuberant and jubilant NYC resident as are his family members. He lives there and he votes there.

Man I’d have switched to Florida long ago, it must be costing them all MILLIONS in tax

Even the saintly Kennedys packed up the dying Rose Kennedy and Teddy to die in Florida to avoid taxes

In Germany, the VAT does not apply to exports. I am not sure about other countries but the VAT does not figure into the stuff Germany sells us.

Right?! I knew today would be a flood of evermore anti-Trump gotcha garbage.

Since I haven’t had much time today to check it all out, do you have a list of names that were added to the drama queens stating they’ll never vote for Trump? It’s hilarious that they believe anyone gives a sh** or that somehow their vote is more important than mine, or yours, or anyone else.

If the country survived Obama, you really think Trump will do it in?

I will let your words define you.

Are you really this dense?

Should Trump build his hotels here and then ship them overseas?

You do realize this is revenue for an American, right?

Please, please tell me you aren’t this thick!

Trump doesn’t even build properties over-seas or at home.
He pays other people to build them, or other people that build the properties and pay Trump to place his name on the site.
Then he takes all the credit for building them.

I assume "going back to the 80's" refers to the long and continuous train of dishonesty... misrepresentations...misleading.. and deceptive words and actions brought by the "Donald":

While bashing companies for investing in foreign countries, Donald Trump’s own company has shown no inclination to invest and build only in America. In fact, a significant percentage of his company’s hotels and major real estate properties are located abroad. “Mr. Trump is either inexcusably hypocritical or inexcusably ignorant of economics,” according to Donald J. Boudreaux, a professor of economics at George Mason University. “There is zero economic difference between, say, a U.S. car company’s investments abroad in factories and Mr. Trump’s own investments abroad in hotels: both are meant to improve the bottom line of companies headquartered in the U.S. by taking advantage of profitable economic opportunities outside of the U.S.”

What a bunch of effing bullshit! Now to be POTUS you can not be a successful businessman who has built famous 5 star hotels abroad? Are you shitting me?
