A thread about nothing at all....

"...Investors and tax experts say the main reason for Burger King to move its domicile to Canada is to avoid having to pay double taxation on profits earned abroad, as the company would likely be subject to do if it remained in the United States.

Burger King, however, stressed Miami would remain its global home, while Oakville, Ontario, would will continue to be the worldwide headquarters of Tim Hortons..."

Well as long as they don't mess with the great products Tim Horton's has.

I read that BK is moving its HQ to Canada. So is BK buying TH or TH buying BK?

And if you combine the BK Wopper with TH donuts we might get this:

Oh God
I found my new wallpaper for my phone......
I would KILL for those....

Maybe you could trade O-rings for Donut Burgers

BK buys TH, and is moving the company to Canada to save millions in taxes.

Nope.  Seems this was another jump to conclusion from the we all know who.

Even Burger King is claiming this.

That is exactly the kind of food they serve in hospitals! Well, almost exactly. Well, other than the donut, the bacon, the cheese, and the hamburger.

Not about taxes, it's about growth...

I'm all in for the donut/bacon/cheese/burger sandwich

[MrPepsi]

Ah, I see what you mean.
Still moving, but not about saving taxes.
I'm sure saving all that money had nothing to do with it.

They are keeping their corporate office in the US.  No change in taxes being paid.  FWIW, I still do not understand the tiered tax rates.  What is so wrong about a simple tax rate being flat, across the board?  Make more, pay more, make less pay less.  The current scheme is make more pay WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY more.  Make less, get back more.  Something wrong in that.

Income redistribution. I think there's a different name for it though.

It will never happen as it's in the Man's best interests to keep it as complex as possible.

My cholesterol just went into the tank and they put me on Zocor. Plus Metformin and Januvia (which I have been on for year). Lost about 20 pounds in the past year and I can't afford anymore.
