Michael Moore aside, you might want to comment on US personal and corporate tax rates versus those of Canada, France, Mexico etc.
Thanks to idiot Corporation-Hating-Tree-Hugging-Left-Wing-Liberals who don't even posses 1/1000th of George Bush's smartness, US is not competitive in luring business.
Business goes where market, talent and taxes are favorable. In terms of taxes US can do a lot better. As long as we continue to elect democrats in the house who frankly are worse than war-mongering-moral-hypocrites our growth is not fully realized
Ireland, Dubai and even Mexico are much better places to open business
Are you out of your mind?! Bush is a total idiot. He makes a mess of everything he lays his hands on. About all we have to show for his presidency is trillions of dollars more debt, a destroyed American city, and a quagmire in the Middle-East. He fills all of his appointments with incompetent cronies who screwup one thing after another.
Maybe if we listened to the "Corporation-Hating-Tree-Hugging-Left-Wing-Liberals" and raised CAFE standards years ago, we wouldn't be paying close to $4 a gallon for gasoline now.
Well Xan, you and I and Bill Gates all agree on something ... that it's far less burdensome from a business tax standpoint to locate a 'new business' in Ireland than it is in the USA. This is the reason that Microsoft has structured its corporate units such that Vista is considered to be the product of an Irish division.
(puts on her moderator hat) ... just a reminder that posts in the Dollar Den forum may discuss an economic issue of one sort or another. Obviously many such discussions do involve political policies and their economic after-effects. However, commentary that is overtly political in the absence of a matching economic issue os better suited to the Members' Area.
Corporately I'm move my company to Ireland. If I had a corp anyhow.
