Mcdonald's HQ leaves UK over the high tax rate.

And the dumbocraps will tell us it can't happen here. I can see US companys moving their operations to Mex or Brazil to escape the tax & spend stupidity. After all, once the dollar is no longer the international trade currency, why be in the home of the has-been-dollar?

I am very fearful that we are going to see companies and qualified people fleeing this country because of the incredible taxes that will be forthcoming under *61. I have a friend who was a doctor in Texas and he actually smelled this coming and moved to Barbados several years ago. Expect many more companies and docs to be leaving us. I can't say as I blame them, but some of us choose to stay here and fight the socialism being thrust upon us.

What ever happened to Oberstar. He used to be considered moderate for a Dem. but he was one of the first in this state to endorse "The One" and has not bucked him at all. Makes me sick.

I can see it now...McD's setting up shop in Antigua, or some other Island in the middle of nowhere.

As far as Oberstar...I like the man...but he is caught up in the washington elitists. Can anyone name anything he has done for our state since.....? 1988?
