Burger King Flees US Taxes by Moving to Canada



Under Obama, the United States is turning into California and plenty of American companies are doing what California companies have been doing. - Daniel Greenfield/Front Page

Even if taxes were the issue (and a few percentage points for an $18 billion company still amounts to a sizable sum. A very sizable sum.) Burger King won’t announce it out loud. Why irritate American consumers or Washington.

No company likes to look greedy, but the idea that such a move will have nothing to do with the tax advantages is simply denial....

Instead of competing for their business, we’ll be warning the companies that we still have left not to leave. That’s exactly the kind of scenario likely to move companies faster out the door.
