“I’d go out of my way to make it hard for them to do an inversion.”
You are, by definition, a tyrant.
You think that companies are milk cows on the government farm. They are not. They are private property and are willing to play by the rules and pay reasonable taxes. When those taxes impact their ability to be competitive they will do what it takes to remain competitive.
You are so naive as to think they now have no options? You, like the government are wracked with envy and lust for power and money.
Watch the unintended consequences. You, like our government, will “blame the milk cow” for not producing when you are starving them of the opportunity to thrive.
I have no regard for people like you who are so short-sighted as to willingly give up your liberty and property - by supporting this garbage.
These companies may not technically “invert” but you are an idiot if you think this somehow makes “American Jobs” somehow more likely. Assets will go overseas anyway - people, expansion and everything else. We will now be importing what we could be making here - and if you do not see this you cannot be helped.
Watch what happens. Blame the cow for running to the next pasture over so it can eat. Blame the next farm over for prospering while you neglect your fields.
Stupidity. Raw stupidity.
I don’t think you bothered to read what I wrote.
I think he was saying he’d make LIBERAL companies, the ones who supported Obama and other instances of class warfare, live by these punitive and unfair rules, that since they’re willing to swim in that kind of a sea, that they deserve it.
I don’t think he was saying he’s in favor of laws against inversion in general nor for them to be applied against conservative companies. Just that this is what libs supported, and now they’re getting what they deserve if it gets applied to them.
