All democrats should follow the impassioned plea by Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown to boycott Burger King.

If dems boycott Burger King then I will be a more frequent customer. Without them I'm betting that it will be a much nicer and cleaner restaurant than before.

When people here rightly complain about taxes, and how they are taken against their will the response is usually, "social contract", and further counsel that by staying here you are impliedly consenting to the tax laws. And they usually give the advice that you should leave if you don't like it.

So, here we have a company taking that advice and they get chastised and beat over the head for doing it.
The real message seems to be "don't try to leave the plantation or we will hunt you down like a runaway slave".

The answer of course is to reform our antiquated 19 century tax code so that it is more competitive, less cumbersome to comply with, and is solely focused on revenue instead of social engineering.

Wonder if Obama calls his boy unpatriotic.

I think he already did.

He definitely called inversions unpatriotic, not sure abt a specific billionaire friend.

I do often enjoy your gotchas, sometimes I reply without seeing who wrote the previous post.
