Since there is no Mr. and Mrs. Burger King; blame should be pointed at the evil shareholders, not the little guy with 50 shares but huge greedy funds.

Funds like Teachers Advisors Inc., College Retirement Equities Fund Stock Account and College Retirement Equities Fund Global Equities Fund, (ALL THREE among BKW's largest shareholders) who use funds furnished, actually extorted from the little guy, the guy with 50 shares in the form of inflated property taxes.

Those damn public sector teachers and their inflated pensions.

Hell let's just pretend there's a Mr. Henry F. Potter and he owns Burger King...

Wonder how much tax money Burger King provides in the form of sales tax selling their borderline edible foods? And come to think of it, payroll tax, property taxes, business licensing etc.?

BKW rose 19.5% in session. Quick! Divest!

By the way, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway's investment will earn 9%, a tidy $270M. Imagine the howls if Romney had engineered this.

that's what irritates me-that howls are one sided, depending on the particulars. the howls should be loud, regardless.
just like when harry reid was pissing and moaning about the kochs and their money...and then when someone asked him about his deep pocketed vegas buddy-*crickets*.

It all comes down to this...

Why remain in the US when it's so unexceptional?

well...
these corporations have a lot of businesses here. but they keep trying to squeeze every last nickel and dime-when will they reach terminal velocity?

it's like the little hick town here...they kept wanting to do more stuff, build more stuff, so they'd raise the sales tax. 1/4 cent here, 1/2 cent there, and the money flowed in.
and then they went too far. they went over the 10 cent mark, and it stopped flowing.
why? because everyone drives about 25 minutes south and spends all their money in the first big town in louisiana. they went too far on taxes, and it drove people to shop elsewhere.
