"I'M LEAVING ON A JET PLANE" peter paul & mary

Always wondered if it should have been Mary & Peter Paul?

Well if some of you have been paying attention it seems another All-American company 'Burger King' has decided to leave the United States for Canada, Canada? Seems they purchased donut  and coffee king Tim Hortons. Well what should American consumers do?

First off I can't suggest boycotting Burger King as I presently can't remember going there recently. Poor food quality, cleanliness, and staffing. I remember one time at a drive thru window being asked if I wanted my change?

Back in the late 60's Burger King opened on Mentor Ave. across from McDonalds. What a treat really a BIG hamburger, flame-broiled, and having it your way.... Today you can watch someone throw the burgers into a microwave.  Think something wasn't lost in the transition?

Seems the main reason for the move is another case of Inversion the U.S. has the highest corporate tax rate of 35%. The secret here is that the average is 13% or less in actual tax rate. With many corporations paying zero.

Burger King  across America should be forced to take their American flag down and fly the Canadian Mapleleaf. look the employees of Burger King are already subsidized by the federal government with Earned Income Credit and other government subsidizes. now the King wants to leave and  let us holding the bag and eating crummy burgers?

Look if your a liberal or a conservative you must agree this is bad policy. Want to take on ISIS, have a space program whatever you can't let companies abandon this country.

If there's a plus to all this all corporate Burger King staffing in Canada will have government run health care.

In other news;

9 year old girl kills instructor with an uzi,  no one saw that coming?

Josh Gordon suspended one year by NFL.  Ray Rice suspended two games for knocking girlfriend/wife unconscious in an elevator. Wonder if Ray's wife wishes he had been hitting on a joint instead of her?

Something about this sort of merger makes no sense to me. If I read the reports correctly, Timmy's outsells BK in every respect. IOW, they make more money. How does the the poor step-child buy out the rich parent??

I do remember eating at the BK on Mentor Ave but that was probably 40 years ago. The last time I ate at one the food was lousy, the place was dirty, and the service was indifferent. Like you, I wonder how they are even open?

I guess the tax advantages must be pretty good.

Have to agree Burger Kings quality has suffered the most. Last Whopper looked like it had been sat on before I received it. Anybody remember the Barn Buster at Red Barn?
