I keep hearing nonsense like this from the left, so maybe you can explain to me how

If I take my company to China, how I'm subject to paying taxes to the USA, and if I"m not subject to paying taxes to the USA, then how the hell can I get tax credits?

Then why doesnt half the country pay a dime in income taxes? Clearly you think everyone should contribute to obligations, right?

It believes in having the government steal your money while it lives in its mom's basement and posts.

Don't assume that everyone else encounters the same barriers to seeing the difference between "fair and just" and "identically equal" that you encounter.

General public...keep the flame going on various "oppressors" (Repubs, Christians, Whites, Corporates) and how you are their "victims."

It's a never ending cycle. Promise them the world and then blame some other group as obstructionist to your vision.
Exactly.

Posts void of any facts or rational arguments are mindless.

If you give money to the fed gov against your will, who is responsible? If they give that money to another against your will again, who is responsible?

As far as how you write. Liberals use words that are not used in everyday
conversation to seem smarter than who they are talking with. We understand what
you are trying to say. And they also talk down to people who disagree with them.

ROTFLMAO! Yes, they ARE used in everyday conversation. Not our fault that you associate with people who communicate by grunting.

Just locating to China wouldn't necessarily mean you owe no US income taxes. This becomes a tax reg issue. Often when the generic phrase China is used it really can refer to what some would call a US company just with a Chinese presence. China has tightened up requirements, as I understand.

If those cost saving benefits to transnational corps have faded then new ones are sought. The whole corporate sandwich these transnationals can take advantage of benefit all those investment funds of which the govt is largest investor. You need to think in terms of corporations and not countries.

And that's pretty much what the President is doing: The best that can be hoped for given the opposition's intent on destruction.
This is perfect class-warrior nonsense. The main problem is we have a president who thinks this way too. His own party won't pass his budgets, but instead of placing the blame on the president, these nitwits blame the GOP. The president is an economic illiterate and so are most of the libs who post here. They resent anyone with money and completely buy into Obama's redributionist hate-rhetoric. They won't even admit to the pain Obamacare is inflicting on the economy and the jobs market.

Obama is the worst thing that could've happened to the middle class. The repercussions of his misguided policies are going to infect whole generations of Americans. And you nitwits defend this guy...disgusting.
