Obama be killin America...one Burger King at a time.
It was to inoculate themselves from criticism for leaving the country to avoid onerous taxes as the Preezy is wont to do.
Will the last business to leave the U.S. please turn out the lights.
Dem Senator (Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio) Calls For Boycott Of Burger King, Tells Consumers To Eat At Wendy’s, White Castle
NEW YORK (CBS Cleveland/AP) — Burger King says it struck a deal to buy Tim Hortons Inc. for about $11 billion, a move that would give the fast-food company a stronger foothold in the coffee and breakfast market.
The corporate headquarters of the new company will be in Canada, which stands to help lower Burger King’s corporate taxes. Such tax inversions have been criticized by President Barack Obama and Congress because they mean a loss of revenue for the U.S. government. Burger King and Tim Hortons said the chains will continue to be run independently and that Burger King will still operate out of Miami.
The deal would create the world’s third largest fast-food company with about $23 billion in sales and more than 18,000 locations, the companies said.
The comments are 99% pro BK anti Dem/taxes/brown.
When will Dem’s figure out that corporations don’t pay taxes, their customers pay them? This move makes BK more profitable, lower corporate taxes and their product prices will not decrease, smart move BK.
You said it. Very sad.
