Yes, I can't comprehend why someone would make multiple posts on a thread they consider to be a troll thread, unless they were out to troll themselves. Is that the case?

Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. I never claimed it did. That however doesn't make it a troll thread. Unless you consider anything you disagree trolling. Using your standard, the source of the story, The Chicago Tribune is a troll newspaper.

Were the profits of these companies down, or were they just paying in less taxes?

So you question my statement as being accurate, but you cant dispute what I said? Thats really odd. Tell me why this non stop attack on my postings from you? One might consider this obsession of yours trollish as well.

I didnt realize I wasnt allowed to point out the flaws in the thread, because it sources the Chicago Tribune, where is that written? Because the Chicago Tribune makes some stupid statement, it shouldnt be questioned? Wow.. you have very low standards..

Allowing people to not pay - what they otherwise would have - is not the same thing as keeping their money. Grant you, I believe all money is our own, but if it was already allocated for taxes - but then the gov says "never mind" - that is different.

You have enough strawmen there to make a village. I fail to see how asking you questions is attacking you. You said this thread was a troll thread, I asked how is it a troll thread and i asked you why you would invest time and energy on a troll thread. Very simple questions which you are unable to answer.

When people use a problem for the purpose of putting blame on people they want to hate, they fail to understand the real cause of the problem and hence they also fail to find the true solution.

Money doesnt get allocated to taxes until AFTER there is a profit. Its not "allocated" until a profit happens. Clearly 100+ stores arent profitable, thus one has nothing to do with the other.

I told you how its a troll thread, because a tax break has nothing to do with a decision to close 100 stores.. Your response summarized as

but, but, but, it was in a newspaper, so it must have value

Its not my job to hold your hands and explain why this is laughable, sorry its at your expense, but I guess that was set to happen from the offset.
