They're hoping we forget they moved out of the US to avoid paying taxes; its nice they want to raise awareness, but you ditched the US, so your opinion doesn't matter here anymore.
I'm a strong believer of "If you don't vote, you can't bitch" :)
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoThey moved out of the US to avoid paying taxes on worldwide income, they still pay taxes on US income - all foreign companies that operate in the US do! Just like all US companies that operate in Canada pay Canadian corporate income taxes... No taxation without representation.
- petee 9y agoOk, so only their us based subsidiary has a say, if that. That'd be like Huawei suddenly decided to have an opinion on the subject because they have a US branch...
- petee 9y agoAnyways, the core point was they moved out to avoid paying taxes, and that's exactly what they did. The $2 left isn't worth talking about
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoThe alternative was to make Tim Hortons a US company, that would have sucked.
- tsomctl 9y agoI'm pretty sure they're still paying a nontrivial amount in taxes. At the very least, property taxes, sales tax, and their employees are paying income tax.
- petee 9y agoIndividual stores are franchies, so a US citizen is likely paying those taxes, not Burger King
