1. I'd boycott his awful restaurants, but there aren't any around here.

2. Thanks. I can add them to my list along with Chik-fil-a and others

to avoid spending my dollar at.

7. You will be healthier. (That is my pollyanna post of the day.) nt

[mmonk]

10. In mind and body.

17. Wealthier & wise.

:evilgrin:

3. Did he say how that could happen?

He might as well have asked for a dodo bird egg to put on his next artery-clogging burger, because there's no such thing as a "permanent" tax anything. Everything can be rewritten, everything in the tax code is subject to revision. Tell Mr. Puzder to put on his big boy undies and deal with it.

4. There you have it

the Corporate 10 Commandments

Screw everyone but us, the rich
Let us take our God given rightly place at the head of the table
The rest of you can grovel for our scraps
And we will continue to steal every cent you make and your little dogs too

They don't have Hardee's in Montana, but if they did, I would sure as hell steer clear of that place

5. So as a free market guy

he'll certainly understand if I take my business elsewhere. That's the way the market works, right Andy?

[saras]

6. No, as a free market guy he understands he has to compel you to choose his product...

...by making competing products unavailable, unattractive, or uncompetitive. Actually trying to make his own product better is low on the list as far as profitability goes.

[Permanut]

9. The Walmart strategy

Good point, Saras, he doesn't reeeeeeeaaaally want a free market. Actually I'm proud to say I've never set foot in a Carls Jr, even though we have them in the area.

13. LOL

[hifiguy]

14. Modern American capitalism explained in two sentences.

Outstanding!!!

And why we are so deep in the crapper the sun is now a rumor.

[Zax2me]

8. Who does he think he is, GE? Jeffrey Immelt?!

Not paying taxes for corporations means being connected to the right people.

[spanone]

11. he's not making enough money???

[ingac70]

12. No more Hardees for me. n/t

[Ilsa]

15. Yeah, because they are working so damn well to fix the economy? (snark) nt

[jwirr]

16. 5. Boycott their places.
