    ... that is a competitive decision that all corporations have to make.

    The ex President taxed Corporations at a historically low 21% on the failed theory of "trickle down" economics. Many corporations did not invest in equipment nor their workforce. Instead they opted to improve their balance sheets and pay their CEO's outrageous compensations.

    Report: Bidens Aggressively Dodged More Than $500,000 in Taxes Before Joe Demanded Americans Pay Their 'Fair Share'

    Bet the liberals don't bitch about this like they did about Trump!


    Back when he was just the then-presidential candidate Barack Obama’s running mate, President Joe Biden told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that the plan was “to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people.”
    Declaring that wealthier Americans would have to pay more in taxes, Biden proclaimed, “It’s time to be patriotic … time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut.”
    Unlike many of the 2008 Obama-Biden policy positions, taxing the rich is not a proposal that Biden has abandoned. In a Thursday speech, he declared, “I’m sick and tired of corporate America not paying their fair share.”

    If paying more taxes is the litmus test that determines whether or not a rich person is patriotic, then it looks like Biden absolutely hates his country.
    The Federalist reported Thursday that upon leaving the vice presidency, the Bidens exploited a potentially illegal tax loophole that saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars in payroll taxes.

    Between 2017 and 2019, the Bidens claimed $13.5 million made from speeches and book sales as corporate profits, rather than income, the outlet reported.
    This allegedly allowed them to avoid paying payroll taxes, and save more than $500,000 in the process. The payroll taxes in question would have been used to pay for Obamacare and Medicare — programs that Biden publicly championed during his tenure as vice president.

    But what was so important that the (extremely wealthy) Biden family supposedly needed the extra cash for? Real estate, of course!
    “Throughout our careers, Jill and I have dreamed of being able to buy a place at the beach at home where we can bring the whole family. We feel very lucky that we’re now able to make that happen and are looking forward to spending time with our family in the place that matters most to us in the world,” Biden told the Cape Gazette in June 2017.
    If you thought the beach house was the only property the Bidens pursued, this report suggests you would be dead wrong. The Federalist furthered that the Bidens rented a house that same year just outside of Washington, D.C., from Mark Ein, a donor and family friend. The monthly rent was apparently “substantial.”

    This wasn’t some small studio to use as a home base. The house “features a grand piano in the living room, contains both a sauna and home gym, and advertises parking for 20-plus cars,” according to the Federalist.
    “The property contains so much ‘bling’ that a local real estate brokerage created a video advertising all its luxury features,” the outlet reported.
    But, of course, this man wants you to foot the bill for his trillion dollar spending spree. While this apparent level of hypocrisy is not at all surprising, it is amazing that the Biden administration can peddle this nonsense with a straight face.

    Former President George H.W. Bush once remarked that “public service is a noble calling.” Whatever mistakes he made during his administration, the man’s character and commitment to the good of the country were unquestionable.
    I could at least forgive Biden if he was doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, but wanton self-interest seems to be winning the day.

    I wonder if Biden will GIVE BACK his presidential salary like Trump did?

    ... the ex President may have donated his salary but he took many times that from the American taxpayer with every golf trip and hotel stay he made.

    President Biden has no hotels, no golf courses, no office towers, no failed businesses, no business conflicts of interest that you can describe.

    If you want to try equate this with the 2-3 properties and contents that the Biden's own, good luck!

    .... foreign nations are still actively working to incite distrust among Americans via social media to hinder President Biden's "Build Back Better" plan.

    Many Americans remain addicted to their old media habits that negatively sensationalize the present administration at every opportunity to increase their ad revenues.

    I guess those are decisions each corporation has to make to their own benefit or detriment. The workforce has a choice to stay where they are or go somewhere else if they don't like the decisions being made at the corporate level. An economy left alone tends to work itself out.

    ... America does not have the time to wait and see. China is racing ahead of the USA for world dominance.

    ... America's infrastructure improvements cannot wait any longer.

    MADE IN THE USA is too expensive, so it's made in China. We have to correct the too expensive part.

    (1). Strange (not) how it took a "global 'pandemic'" (created by the chinese), for china to even get close to being "ahead of the USA....". I have no worries though. America will not tuck tail and bow to the Dirty Communist Pigs in china. ........except for Biden (who's already proved he will get on his knees for china).....he needs to GO!

    (2). What "infrastructure" are you talking about? Actual infrastructure, or the liberals' "newly-defined" infrastructure?
