Sam Adams beer told to leave Obama's America!!!!

Sam Adams' parent company wants special treatment.

their investment bankers are not offering special treatment, just advising them of increased profitability from operating off shore.

You never provide a cite for that claim.

Sam Adams' parent company wants special treatment. Simple as that. And they are exploiting the rubes' ignorance to gain sympathy.

NO, they don't want special treatment. That's why they're going offshore. Then they'll get treated exactly the same as any other offshore company.

See post 6.

They are demanding a lower tax rate than what other large brewers pay. That's asking for special treatment.

You're being played, rube.

Then I would object to that. All corporations should pay the same tax rate. So should all individuals.

Then the tax rate would provide zero incentive for corporations to move overseas.

yes, but Marx taught us to hate corporations and that they must be punished with high taxes even though it gives them a huge incentive to move to lower tax jurisdictions.

Koch probably isn't in a rush to sell -- and the decision is up to him. He controls the company's Class B shares, so he can wait as long as he wants.

Now may not be the ideal time for Koch to seek a buyer, Zuanic said. Shares of the company are down 24 percent this year as the company reduced beer-volume growth guidance and reported weak sales for the Samuel Adams brand.

I take complaints about taxes with a giant grain of salt as long as everyone is angling for their own government gifts in the form of deductions, credits, and exemptions.

These whiners are gargantuan hypocrites trying to make the rest of us pay for their government gifts.

Without deductions, credits, and exemptions all of our taxes would be a lot lower.

yes but its better if they pay no taxes since the taxes are passed on anyway and since its a major distraction to effeciency. GE, for example, has 1000 full time tax professionals and files a 400 Lbs tax return. Those 1000 folks should get real jobs and GE prices should come way down!!

Jake, does Sam Adams pay more or less tax to the Federal (feral) government than Dos Equis and Becks pay?

What does this say about our taxation structure? Does it make sense?

too stupid has learned 104 times that corporations are tax collectors not tax payers. We have the corporate tax to pander to the pure ignorance of liberals and for no other reason.

Fiduciary Obligation: Walking on tax from deferred income. That's $34M in five years.

dear, do you have any idea what your point is?????

Boston Beer threatening to walk on their obligations, and rubs like you attempting to subvert the truth.

Why not drop all corporate taxes to zero and implement the FAIR tax? Then the tax rate would provide zero incentive for corporations to move overseas. Foreign corporations would also pay the tax. it's a win-win.

You're not a US Citizen. GO AWAY!

So tell us; What percentage of your total income did you pay in federal taxes in 2014?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Does anyone think its really really stupid for liberal tax laws to drive our corporations offshore this way, especially when low off shore wages already encourage our corporations to move?

Liberal tax laws? You know the corporate tax rate has been unchanged since the 80s, right? Right?

Right?

You know that Congress was completely controlled by the democrats in the 80's right? Right?

Same with every other multi-national company.

You idiots just don't get it: They have no obligation to stay put and pay whatever you want to force them to pay.

Your point? With the FAIR tax GE would have no tax professionals on its payroll.
