WOW, with that kind of response all I can say is "Shut up, and pay your taxes"   Corporations won't.

I knew you were looking for support in her effort to demonize business. Too bad you can't see what a monster government had become.

The more I see of the various responses to things, it begins to appear that this is a forum for the wealthy. 
Always against those things that would inhibit the wealthy from attaining and keeping governmental control.

Not really.  We're concerned about how the money is spent.

Only a fool would walk over a penny and not stop and pick it up.

Now, there's a liberal assessment if I've ever heard one and, quite frankly, a load of horse manure.

First of all, it's questionable these days whether a penny is worth the time and energy spent picking it up. But the interesting thing is how some Leftards assume that you have to be wealthy, in order no to be consumed with envy of the wealthy. That's projection and more a description of the Left than it is of the right. The politics of the Left are based, at their heart, on a mixture of Envy and Egotism. Burning of Envy of anyone who has done better than you have, and Egotism in their inability to admit that this person might be smarter, harder working, or sometimes luckier, than they are. Incidentally, I don't mean luckier in having popped out of the right womb; but in being in the right place, at the right time, and having the courageous to take advantage of circumstances.

Elizabeth Warren recently gave a speech before congress castigating american companies for establishing their headquarters overseas to avoid U. S. taxes.  She was proposing support for a bill outlawing this practice called Inversion .
What is the position of this forums participants toward this practice and the bill Warren supports?

I won't presume to speak for the entire forum. If Warren really thought US corporations would stand still to be plundered and regulated into bankruptcy, she's a greater fool than even I think she is.

BTW, did you post this thread using a Mac, iPad or iPhone?

Why do you think the head of GE found a seat on the Marxist POTUS Cabinet?
Because the Dims are trying to steal the crony capitalist moniker from the GOP, if they get the US Chamber of Commerce, they pretty much gut the GOP as it stands, which is exactly what they're in the process of doing.
The GOP recently proved their loyalties are with corporate interests and could care less what the voter wants, which is why TEA is stealing the party from these scum.

And guess what happens when these corporations get in bed with a leftist govt, really, take a guess.
They become Nationalized, and what happens when they become Nationalized?
They no longer have any competition, the nation loses Capitalism, and it will be too late to turn back from the fall into Communism.

So maybe you can figure out for yourself the age old question as a shareholder earning an income or saving for a retirement through investments in said corporations, what will your vote be?
Will you vote to keep the headquarters in the US and get less in dividends, or vote to move it to another country where they pay no tax, in turn making you more money in your investment?

As a shareholder, you are technically a part time owner, as an owner and a Capitalist, what would you do? Keep in mind, we are a Capitalist Nation.

In what stereotype-fantasy world do you reside? My household combined income is under six figures, and I live in Silicon Valley, among the more expensive housing markets in the US. I doubt many here are close to being wealthy. We've simply learned the lesson of the quote in my signature.

Try learning something of people here before labeling them.

With all those Democrat millionaires in the House and Senate, why would you inhibit their retaining control?

As for the "appear(ance)" of this place, we are always against leftist leeches convinced they are entitled to other people's money. Parasites vote leftist. Decent people do not.

So what you're saying is you want govt to regulate profits?
Che and Castro would embrace you in a heart beat.

Of course they did. With government bound and determined to "regulate" business, it would be stupid to sit this one out. Businessmen aren't stupid, regulatory agencies are simply another business opportunity. A way to get a step ahead of rivals, beat off competitors, and increase market share. For some reason Leftards believe that businesses are supposed to be trembling with fear of the regulatory agencies, in reality those agencies are simply another paperwork, and accounting, expense. Something else to be passed on to the consumers.

lol, lots of wealthy people around here.  Dumbass liberal..........are you just dedicated to saying things that couldn't be more wrong  ?

Can you wrap your head around "opportunity to earn & have wealth makes a USA.....no opportunity to do so, makes a North Korea"  ?

On the topic, lol, inversion means nothing but 50-80% tax rates and criminalization of leaving the state with your property, personal or corporate.

Yeah, that's always worked just fine, from Nazi Germany all the way through the great communist countries of the last 100 years.
