"Now, after profiting from these taxpayer-funded benefits, Burger King intends to move its tax address overseas to avoid paying its fair share for these benefits," the group said in the letter, which was viewed by Reuters.

I am sorely tempted to write a parody letter based on this one, titled, "From a Rapist to his Victim", urging the victim not to resist...

Maybe these good senators should lower the corporate tax to a level that will allow BK to stay in business here.

We blew an excellent teaching moment by incorrectly reacting to “You didn’t build that.”

Who built it, Obama?
Tax funded government entities.
Where’d that tax income come from, Obama?
Taxpayers, both corporations and individuals.
What allowed them to pay taxes, Obama?
Income.
What allowed them that income, Obama?
Being a business and being employed by a business.
So, again, who built it, Obama?
(Businesses.)

"Now, after profiting from these taxpayer-funded benefits, Burger King intends to move its tax address overseas to avoid paying its fair share for these benefits," the group said in the letter, which was viewed by Reuters.

This is the same bizarre argument Elizabeth Warren and Obama tried in their "you didn't build that" campaign. According to this unique point of view, anyone who ever who uses a public road or school in the US cannot claim that what they earn is really theirs - the fact that they used public facilities means the government is entitled to some arbitrary share of their wealth forever.

This group seems to be extending the concept to also say that anyone who uses any public facilities in the US gives up the right to ever leave the US. In other words, if you use any public facility in the US, you are indebted to the government forever and become a slave, with no right to keep your own money or to ever leave.

They are still paying their fair share for the roads, etc. It’s called property taxes.

I heard GE is going to do the same thing. My bad, GE doesn’t pay taxes.

Why don’t the Senators pass a law making it illegal for Burger King to move to Canada. They could call it something catchy, like ‘Directive 10-289’ for example.
