The modern Berlin wall.

And the GOP response? anyone know?

[Jane Long]

And the GOP response? anyone know?

Standard GOP Response to EVERYTHING going on....crickets.....silence....

[dforest]

I figgered that much!

[ArmstedFragg]

I wonder how long it’ll take them to figure out why there are so few start-ups?

[RobbyS]

The companies should just damn the torpedos and make the IRS prove its case in court. This assumes, of course, that Hilary is not our next President.

[VerySadAmerican]

Not rinos and not running.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Pathetic. There was a time when companies were proud to be based in the US. Now we’re down to our parasitic federal government trying to force companies to stay.

[Navy Patriot]

I wonder how long it’ll take them to figure out why there are so few start-ups?

You are assuming that Obola and company WANT start-ups.

If, however, they want to eliminate the pesky middle class, by creating an aristocracy and debt serfdom, well then...

[Chgogal]

When does the government start stopping us from moving to Panama?

[Tallguy]

What more can go wrong in the time that remains to Obama?

[goldstategop]

There’s scant public sympathy for multinational corporations shedding their tax burden by eliminating American jobs and choosing to pay foreign taxes instead.

We need to lower our domestic corporate tax burden but Corporate America should not kid itself thinking Americans find their actions admirable. They don’t.

[hal ogen]

No. It will just force corps to remain here. If they don’t pony-up to the criminal government, they will be harassed. They will become cronies in order to survive.

[xzins]

The truth is that I don’t want US companies going overseas, either. The difference is that I want them to stay because they want to stay in the best market in the world. Unfortunately, we’re turning what once was the best market in the world into the worst and one of the most controlled.

[RFEngineer]

“Corporate America should not kid itself thinking Americans find their actions admirable. They don’t.”

Are you a thinking American? It doesn’t seem like it.

[depressed in 06]

This should make our companies more attractive to foreign takeover.

[KSCITYBOY]

Let’s put up a wall with armed guards to keep them in.

[RayChuang88]

This is why replacing the income tax with FairTax would be the most liberating thing to happen to the USA since the American Revolution. Remember that long list of advantages to FairTax I listed a long time ago....

[WMarshal]

Let me guess. This was a regulation written by bureaucrats and not A law passed by Congress. Obama the Usurper must go!
