Occupy Wallstreet

Thank you.

Also, some food for thought I suppose.

  1. You want businesses to get taxed on money it makes overseas. So you want them to be double taxed because I’m sure they’re paying taxes to countries where their products are sold and where they employ people.

  2. A business’s main goal is simple, but some like to make it seem more complicated. That goal is to make money. That’s it. So if a company chooses to go to another country where the tax rate is lower in order to make more money, doesn’t that go with their goal? If I wanted to make as much money as possible, I wouldn’t want to do it in a state, or country, that taxes more than almost anyone else.

It’s easy to look at things from a citizen’s point of view. Not so easy when you’re looking at it from a $1B+ profit a year business with thousands of employees (each one whom you have to pay taxes for and provide benefits to), all costs associated with the manufacturing and/or service, satisfying shareholders wants, AND still trying to make money.
