What is the difference between these Ferguson “protesters” …
CBS interviewed three young men in Ferguson, Missouri this week.
One protester Gunny warned officials:“To be honest, if they don’t come and restore these neighborhoods for these people, like when you gotta go travel miles to Walmart and to get gas and stuff like that, it should be right here. If they don’t restore this community for people who stay here it’s gonna be hell to pay…
A second protester chimed in:
Yeah, that’s why people looting, because they can’t get no jobs.
… and Obama’s bloviating about “unpatriotic”companies fleeing the US’s looter corporate taxrates through inversion …
In remarks and statements made on July 24, President Barack Obama appealed for “economic patriotism” from those American corporations that are contemplating a “corporate inversion” as a means of avoiding the high United States corporate tax rate, whilst also dragging Ireland’s lower tax rate into the controversy. […]
In an address to a college in Los Angeles, the President pointed to corporate inversions as a “threat” because, while the companies’ businesses still remain in the US and have “all the advantages of operating in the US, they just don’t want to pay for it.” He added that, by technically renouncing their US citizenship, the companies are “cherry-picking the rules,” and that: “I don’t care if it’s legal – it’s wrong.”
and promising “hell to pay”?
The Obama administration is continuing to make its case for legislation that would retroactively strip the tax advantages away from many of the year’s biggest mergers and acquisitions.
On Thursday, Mark J. Mazur, the Treasury Department’s assistant secretary for tax policy, made the case that any new laws targeting inversions – transactions that allow American companies to reincorporate abroad – should be backdated to May 2014, potentially affecting a number of multibillion-dollar deals.
Not much.
“I don’t care if it’s legal.”
Top of the list of things you DON’T want to hear a Chief Executive say.
Has anyone seen our rule of law, lately?
I get the feeling it’s now camped out under a bridge abutment somewhere in Iowa – and not looking good, at all…
He doesn’t care what’s illlegal either, so…
Just in case you’ve only heard the MSM version on how corporate (and personal) taxes work here.
“If you don’t give us stuff, we’ll burn down all of the other businesses that have been providing our basic needs, too!”
And this is supposed to make entrepreneurs eager to show up with their capital that will be at risk of the next extortioners to come along?
Meanwhile…
The Obama administration is continuing to make its case for legislation that would retroactively strip…
See also the US Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 3. “No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.”
Ex post facto, unconstitutional? Ha!
And then there’s the Clinton one which broke new ground in trashing the constitution.
Also:
*** Do you remember this bit from the Constitution of the United States?
That’s so-called “Treaty Clause” from Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the Constitution. It is one of several checks on executive power thoughtfully provided by the Founders but flouted by the Golfer-in-Chief currently occupying the White House.
Can’t get two-third of the Senate to approve a bit of Green Legislation you favor? No problem? Just pretend that the United States of America is subject not to its Constitution but the transnational organization of gangsters, kleptocracies, and Third-World dictatorships known as the Untied Nations. ***
How long until the Takings Clause becomes the “Come and Take It” Clause? Not that I would ever encourage disobedience, of course (hello, NSA!) — merely observing the incentive structures that are being put in place.
I have the solution to this “food desert” cum “shopping desert” cum “employment opportunity desert” nonsense that those poor, desperately angry, starving unemployed shoppers are looking for. Ready? Here it is:
Don’t shit were you eat.
Think maybe I can get a government grant to teach looters that?
I don’t care if it’s right – it’s illegal
Not that I would ever encourage disobedience
I don’t care if it’s illegal… it’s right.
I don’t care if it’s legal — it’s wrong . . . . . I don’t care if it’s right – it’s illegal
That’s a sweet juxtaposition bgbear. Exquisite, in fact.
We can instantly recognize the hidden card trick ClownDisaster plays (and gets away with, of course, because no one challenges during a ‘speech’).
“From whence,” the challenge might go, “comes this ‘wrong’ of which you speak, ClownDisaster?” Bible? Harvard? Nature? Where are you getting that thing you seem to think you have, and presume without warrant on our behalf that we have it too — you disgusting piece of tyrannical shit, you?
Or how about the question this Andrew Malcom article raises [How Obama plays PR with national security], in light of the claim “I don’t care if it’s legal — it’s wrong!”
Just when are these “right-wrong” rules to apply? Whenever this tyrannical piece of shit decides he wants them to? So then there are no fucking rules.
****legislation that would retroactively strip the tax advantages away from many of the year’s biggest mergers and acquisitions****
Dramatized.
“Sorry, Mr. IRS Man, I already spent the tax savings — to help get your next boss elected.”
“Hold STILL while we bleed you dry, you ungrateful ox!”
“you ungrateful ox!”
RAAAAACISS!

The unintended consequences of this are going to be amusing.
Reincorporate overseas.
Sell the company assets to a shell corporation also headquartered overseas.
Seek every tax advantage a foreign company can get here in the good old USA.
It’s even funnier if the company has no physical assets.
IRS-“You owe us 50,000,000 samolians”
Former US company now doing business out of Macao-“oh yeah? Good luck collecting that.”
IRS-“We’ll just take it from the companies here that owe you money.”
Former US company-“I better make room over here.”
Which legislation established this greedy, job-killing policy? Who sponsored it, and who voted it through?
They’re probably due for tarring and feathering a dozen times over already, but what the hell — 13 has long been America’s lucky number.
