I did not state that they, Burger King, paid 0 taxes. I stated that 1 in 4 corporations (large) pay 0 or near 0 taxes. I agree that we desperately need tax reform. You are right this is a bipartisan issue so why are they not addressing it is my question. That being said, as it is, many of these entities have such a low pay scale for their workers that we in turn end up supporting them with government aid while they in turn rake in record profits. So if Burger Kings leaves to pay less taxes, which is understandable, we are left taking up the slack while they continue to get richer.
Boycotting the IRS will do nothing except land you in jail. Plus they don't make the rules they just enforce them. It is up to us, the people to continue to hound our congress to address these issues, being tax reform.
Okay, then where did you get your information that Burger King is raking in "record profits"? Your throw in all those red herring liberal buzz words of "zero taxes" and "record profits", and we are talking specifically about Burger King. Do you know what the profit margin is on fast food? I've seen the "we are supporting them because of low wages" talking points too, which are nonsense. These jobs are for kids looking for work experience until they get a real job. If you plan on raising your family based on a 20 hour a week career at Burger King, you are an idiot. Adults working at Burger King today are doing so because liberalism has destroyed the real job they once had or sent it abroad. That's not Burger King's fault or their responsibility to offset the income loss.

This is why jobs leave America and college educated Americans are working at Burger King demanded engineering wages for making Burgers.
Currently there is over 2 trillion dollars ($2,000,000,000,000) of American corporate money held overseas that they would love to bring back and invest here, but don't want to lose 40% of it. If you frequently traveled to Canada, had $10,000 in a Canadian Bank, needed the money, but would lose $4000 if you brought it home, what would you do?
