One Idiot President Who Is Just The Kiss Of Business Death
Obama pledges in his SOTU to close Major Corporate Tax Loopholes. Suddenly its discovered that CEO and FOO (Friend of Obama) Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook (heavy donator to Obama’s re-election campaign) will, despite earnings of $1.1 Billion, not only pay zero dollars in Tax it will ALSO receive a tax refund of $429 million (According to a report published Friday).
One thing is for certain, the Zero still has that killer business touch: Bye, bye, Facebook: Americans abandoning in droves
got to luv boxers:-))))
as to the tax thingy, was Romny pillored over his “taxes” by the lefties???
The dog needs to take acting lessons from the squirrels in Stanley Park in Vancouver.
Christopher Hitchens (not exactly a conservative icon) wrote an essay in 2008 on America as banana republic. He notes that the essence of a banana republic is a structure where parliamentarians, judiciary, media, and favoured businesses (mostly financial) collaborate to steal the wealth generated by … those who work. If corruption is ever found out, those responsible receive at worst a golden parachute. All political decisions are taken out of sight of the public, and the legislatures, despite much theatre, act only as rubber stamps.
Because of its size, the US is the most corrupt country in the world.
Gore, Zuckerberg, all the same to me. Preach one thing do the opposite. Do as I say, not as I do crowd. Yeah, I know these are legal loopholes but where are the ethics in this? It’s the same deal as GOTUS taking another “vacation” while the country is sliding into the fiscal abyss.
I am old. I don’t get Facebook. Mind you, I am waiting to send my first text message.

“Eduardo Saverin, one of the group of people that helped Mark Zuckerberg start Facebook, has renounced his U.S. citizenship in advance of the company’s multi-billion dollar Initial Public Offering:
Eduardo Saverin, the billionaire co- founder of Facebook Inc. (FB), renounced his U.S. citizenship before an initial public offering that values the social network at as much as $96 billion, a move that may reduce his tax bill.
Facebook plans to raise as much as $11.8 billion through the IPO, the biggest in history for an Internet company. Saverin’s stake is about 4 percent, according to the website Who Owns Facebook. At the high end of the IPO valuation, that would be worth about $3.84 billion. His holdings aren’t listed in Facebook’s regulatory filings.”
Yeah why be a ‘good corporate citizen’ when you can leave some other poor sap with the bill?
Facebook creators, brilliant.
IPO monumental; worth billions.
Being a good ‘corporate ex-citizen’; strategic.
Leaving others holding the bag, absolutely priceless!
For everything else, the taxpayers will put it on MasterDEBT!

Wal-Mart shares are tanking after the company’s executives called February sales a “total disaster.”
When a payroll-tax break expired Dec. 31, Americans began paying 2 percentage points more in Social Security taxes on their first $113,700 in wages. For a person making $40,000 a year, that is about $15 a week.
Someone once wrote (I wish I could take credit) that Facebook was to time wasting what Henry Ford was to productivity. Never been on it and have no intention ever of being someone’s “friend” on Facebook. The same goes for Twitter.

Same here, scar. I like to keep things simple, and I have an antipathy toward being a herd animal.
Look up “dutch sandwich” and “money laundering”.
Google isn’t alone. 16 trillion last year.
Twitterface. Doing less with more and proud of it.
