Legally Corporations are defined as people, only they officially lack the capacity to vote aside from lobbying. However, if you are really going to push the people ticket, then Capital Gains tax needs to be raised to 35% across the board instead of the 15% cap as the investors have the most to gain by corporate operations. The normal workers are actually producing and already paying full income tax on their wages while investors merely front capital with no additional effort.

Home Country (Country A): Effective Tax Rate of 35%
Foreign Country (Country B): Effective Tax Rate of 10%

The company's operations grossed $100,000,000 (Home currency) in income (before taxes) while operating abroad in Country B. Based on the tax rates, the company would pay $10,000,000 to Country B for taxes. From there, that $10,000,000 is normally deducted from Country A's tax rate to avoid double taxing the income, so what would have been $35,000,000 becomes only $25,000,000 taken in by Country A.

The Tax holidays in the Goldman article are playing off the above. In a tax holiday, Country A would not receive any tax revenue from foreign operations under the hope that the company would then reinvest that $25,000,000 as capital within Country A. While that works once in awhile, there is no way to guarantee where those funds will wind up. In the meantime, Country A has $25,000,000 less in tax revenue (not accounting for any taxation on funds that somehow make it back and incur charges either from Employee Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax for investors, or possible Sales Tax).

These charges are known as "Transfer Pricing."

Complete bullshit across the board.

• Companies, however, don't benefit from army

  Example: Halliburton rebuilding the Middle East

• Companies, however, don't benefit from...healthcare

  I work in the Healthcare analytics world, a healthy population has a DIRECT correlation to higher productivity from your workforce, ergo higher profits. This is why companies track Health and Productivity Management and implement programs designed to change employee lifestyles to be more healthy.

• Companies, however, don't benefit from...any other things that society provides
  • Roads and other public infrastructures allow your employees to come to work and customers to purchase your product/service.
  • Police and Fire departments help to protect corporate assets from theft and destruction.
  • Patents and Trademarks should be self-explanatory
  • And the list goes on...

Drop the corporate shill routine that companies don't benefit from the government. They benefit a hell of a lot more than most citizens and at a lower effective tax rate.

In that case, don't forget that it was Republican Representative Lamar Smith [R-TX21] that introduced the renewal in the House that started the renewal. Honestly, both parties are the problem and the labels mean little at this point.

Pretty sure those are just outliers. Are you sure p from your dataset is remotely close to 0.05?

And USB Switchblade still gets around it with ease depending on the Operating System.

Military action under the War Powers Resolution (1973) that was authorized by Congress to extend beyond the 60 day max. It's one of their favorite loopholes.

I believe the GP meant it took 30 years of hard work and sacrifice to save up to that quarter of a million dollars, not that it would take 30 years to spend it.

On the contrary, the fortune 500 company I work at just migrated their entire intranet infrastructure over to a SharePoint 2010 cluster. When you have a need to be able to quickly deploy/manage department-level sites, you cannot beat SharePoint. While I personally hate the software, it is the equivalent to a Windows Domain for ease of management and configuration at an enterprise-level.

If you read it again, it's from X location TO Aachen, Germany. Likely they have a honeypot there.

I just watch the debates live due to the drinking game aspect. I entirely agree that we won't get anything useful from them.

I thought that was why they started building roundabouts all over the place.

Per the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) the organizations that have breaches of information are in violation of HIPAA and are fined.

Umm... where's the news? This website has been around for YEARS. The breaches aren't anything new and anyone that is affected should've been alerted per HIPAA.
