I see the possibility of the IRS creating a new rule blessed by the chief executives advisors.

Our modern day due process.

Burger King is moving their headquarters to Canada to avoid taxes. MarAzul knows whats up.

Well it's not like Congress is going to pass any laws in the near future, especially about taxes.

Executive order time, amirite?

Yep, nothing can ever get done with the current cabal.
Obama used the veto the least of any President. Of course the reason why is anything passed by the house that doesn't fit Obama's agenda, will not even be taken up by Harry Reid's Senate.

I expect the rules to change in January. I doubt he will even be able to sustain a veto.

IIRC Wendy's owned them previously.

No, I understand the implications on the sale and subsequent move, I was replying to your question QT "Where's the libertarian/republican dance of triumphant "I told you so!" I find comfort within?"

Maybe I should have been more plain and said Why bother..

 

[Eastoff]

Wendy's split from them in 2006. But they still did business together. I'd assume no longer.

I'm sorry, I was feeling snarky. But I am genuinely surprised nobody posted anything about it. I guess we're all no longer surprised.

I too am curious how January will look politically. I think you might be right about the senate swinging right, but I don't think it will get beyond the veto thresh hold.

No, I don't expect to get veto proof but it will get more difficult for democrats to stay the course
when it comes to a veto override. It will only take a few to fold and I think they will.

You call it fold, I call it compromise to get something done. It's funny how compromise became a dirty word.

Ok. I guess I don't really know why it takes a Compromse to fix a tax system that has the US with the highest Corporate taxes in the World and the only Nation to tax profits made in other countries.
But, put lipstick on that Pig and call it beautiful if it fixes it.

So if the Right "wins" the Senate, will the left start filibustering like mad, like the Right has?

Yes, I think arguably the Democrats started it in 2006. Then the Republicans escalated it.

Hmm dont you remember? The Dems changed the rules so that a filibuster is almost impossible..they are going to scream bloody murder when the shoe is on the other foot

 

[3RA1N1AC]

All the jobs went to other countries, only logical for the corporations to follow suit?

Only for judicial appointments, not for bills in Congress.

He's Obama's favorite $billionaire.

Obama makes a big speech whining about how his policies are driving companies to relocate HQ overseas and then Buffett does this within days.
