    To celebrate the bi-centennial of the British burning down your White House, Burger King will move its corporate HQ to Canada. Buffett is underwriting the deal. Both stocks went up on the announcement.
    There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

          Do they serve old-fashioned buttermilk donuts? Because that's the only kind of donut worthy of the name.

          Also, they've been beaten to the punch with the fried chicken donut.

              Do-Rite sets up a small stand in the lobby of my building every other Friday. It's been a slow drain on my wallet and my health, but the old-fashioned are some of the best donuts I've ever had.

              Donut Vault has also started parking a truck nearby as well recently, though I find them not quite as amazing.

                  Inversions can force a capital gains adjustment for existing stock holders. Not sure that inversions really gain them much in the long run.

                    Really. I didn't know you were in Chicago now? We should have lunch (and perhaps a few others?)

                        Calling it tax evasion is ****ing retarded. It is NEVER going to be a winning proposition for companies to base themselves here as long as we tax their overseas income. They won't be able to keep up with their foreign competitors with that kind of disadvantage. If we want companies to stay here we have to have a reasonable tax policy, and that's just a fact.

                        It's like calling a flood "levee evasion" and getting mad at the water.

They won't be able to keep up with their competitors with that kind of disadvantage. If we want companies to stay here we have to have a favorable tax rate, and that's just a fact.

                            Going to Wendy's instead of Burger King should be one of those things that goes without saying. Why anyone would choose otherwise regardless of where their business office is located, I have no idea.

                                The end result of corporate tax evasion will be to have a national sales tax which is levied on store gross receipts with an exemption for rent and certain other things. That would get around the whole international whatnot, but would also be somewhat regressive.
