Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 30, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Anyone find it strange that ONE person who is not a judge nor voted into office is capable of making this decision? Fuck the EU. Govt to control govt. The decision by Margrethe Vestager, the European Union commissioner for competition, is the culmination of a two-year investigation into whether Ireland gave preferential treatment to Apple, part of a broader crackdown on corporate tax avoidance.

Corp taxes are just paid by the stockholders and or consumers anyway. You think a company should pay taxes on income in both point of sale and where its headquartered? Corp taxes are a joke. Corp pays taxes to the govt then the owners are taxed again when paid a dividend. (C-Corps) That's double taxation to start! If a company has $1 million in net income and pays 30% taxes in Ireland than what should it pay in the US? This is about govt's fighting over money. Nothing more, nothing less.

You think that everything American companies make outside the US can be made here? Dude you are delusional. We don't have 1/100th the labor force needed. I'm not talking just about goods sold here but around the world. Just because unemployment is x% doesn't mean there are qualified and willing workers to do the jobs even at $15.00 hr or much more. Sadly 10% of our country or more will do as little work as possible to get by. Its human nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
