US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

The fail to recognize that corporate taxis are simply a cost of doing business. No different than labour costs, energy costs, raw material costs. These costs are passed along to the consumer.

They are not shifting the burden of taxes from the consumer to corporations.
That's not the issue here though. The global minimum corporate tax is to prevent companies moving their head offices to wherever the tax is the lowest. It's about keeping companies, jobs and tax revenue at home.

So it is a protectionist measure about removing competition from foreign countries
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

More like cities getting together to prevent Bettman from holding them hostage with threats of moving franchises for better corporate handouts.

Protectionism works, ask the NHLPA about the salary cap.

Ask Venezuela

It sounds more like economic colonialism.

Taxes act as both an incentive and disincentive and are implemented with those intents. Does BC have a film industry without tax concessions? What is the intent of the taxes on carbon dioxide?

For years the idea of an educated and mobile workforce lead to people moving to where there is greater opportunity. Why limit that freedom for businesses? Look at the exodus of businesses from California to states with friendlier tax regimes. How many people stay in ungodly Alberta because of lower taxes? State boundaries/Provincial boundaries/Nation boundaries. They set set their rules, go where it best suits you.

If labour were free to move to where the pay is greater you would have a point but people cannot cross borders freely. Money crosses borders, jobs cross borders, corporations cross borders. People cannot. The governor of Texas agrees

But the big flaw in your position in my opinion is that you count labour as a business cost. Human as capital flies in the face of the central tenant of free enterprise.

A free transaction between two free individuals.

If the option for labour is submit to indentured servitude or starve then taking a job at Walmart or working as an Uber driver to make ends meet is not a free transaction by two free actors

Wrong

People can a do cross borders for work. You and I have done so. My wife has. My grandparents did.

The mechanisms are in place for legal movement of labour.

BC has a temporary foreign worker program simply because Canadians feel the work is too difficult for them and hence labour is imported.

SL's boys I mean the Proud Boys - these dumb numbskulls left a trail of evidence behind them for prosecution to get em.
Capitol Rioters Face the Consequences of Their Selfie Sabotage.

Joe Biggs and his fellow Proud Boys left an incriminating social media trail for federal investigators before and during the Capitol attack on Jan. 6.

WASHINGTON — On Jan. 6, Joe Biggs, a former Army staff sergeant turned Proud Boys lieutenant, led the far-right group to the Capitol from the Washington Monument, charged over the wreckage of police barricades, pulled down another barrier, faced off with the police and then filmed himself.

“We’ve just taken the Capitol!” Mr. Biggs shouted to the world.

All that was laid out in court documents, but it was also in plain view. Mr. Biggs, indicted last month on charges that included conspiracy and destruction of government property, potentially faces decades in prison for his role in the Capitol riot.

He has himself to blame. Like other Proud Boys, he helped document the prosecution's case.

“Wanting to show how smart they are, they’ve basically outlined the charges against them,” said Grant Fredericks

Answer to the above: Wrong, each of those is antisemitic to some degree.

And the totality thereof adds up to a strong case of your antisemitism

FFS you likened Israel to Nazi Germany in one of those!

The most antisemitic thing ever!

As for you trying to wriggle out of the other proofs (your own words) of antisemitism

... well twas a sad and desperate attempt at best.

I don't know why you put all this effort into an attempt to deny your antisemitism UK.

And I'm not about to put in a similar effort to expose the flaws in your fresh arguments.

I've made my case and you've done little-to-nothing substantially as far as attacking that case.

As you know, my case was that you have crossed the well-established line between fair criticism of Israel and antisemitism.

I've made my case and you've made yours and there's no place left to go with this now, so...

Agree to disagree.

I construe it as an attempt to put yourself in good standing so that your complaints of being (correctly) called an antisemite are heard.

I construe the fact you now call yourself a "cunt" an attempt to make yourself appear not-so-bad for angrily calling others "cunts" hundreds of times.

What you should have construed is that I paid up anyway because I already had promised Cornuck that I would and I wont hold the money as hostage.
to your refusal to deal with your fraudulence. What you also should construe is that I rightly assume that you using my donation as an admission of guilt is not beneath you. :evil:

As for your last comment about me being trying to be the good guy sums up your lack of integrity nicely. its not about me at all, its about the diversion. The personal attacks, the ad hominems that are always the basis for your weak debating skills. It's no wonder you elevate Trump to godhood he's a master at the ad hominem.

Agree to disagree = I say you're an antisemite and you say you're not.

The fail to recognize that corporate taxis are simply a cost of doing business. No different than labour costs, energy costs, raw material costs. These costs are passed along to the consumer.

They are not shifting the burden of taxes from the consumer to corporations.
That's not the issue here though. The global minimum corporate tax is to prevent companies moving their head offices to wherever the tax is the lowest. It's about keeping companies, jobs and tax revenue at home.
So it is a protectionist measure about removing competition from foreign countries
More like cities getting together to prevent Bettman from holding them hostage with threats of moving franchises for better corporate handouts.

Protectionism works, ask the NHLPA about the salary cap.
Ask Venezuela

It sounds more like economic colonialism.

Taxes act as both an incentive and disincentive and are implemented with those intents. Does BC have a film industry without tax concessions? What is the intent of the taxes on carbon dioxide?

For years the idea of an educated and mobile workforce lead to people moving to where there is greater opportunity. Why limit that freedom for businesses? Look at the exodus of businesses from California to states with friendlier tax regimes. How many people stay in ungodly Alberta because of lower taxes? State boundaries/Provincial boundaries/Nation boundaries. They set set their rules, go where it best suits you.
If labour were free to move to where the pay is greater you would have a point but people cannot cross borders freely. Money crosses borders, jobs cross borders, corporations cross borders. People cannot. The governor of Texas agrees

But the big flaw in your position in my opinion is that you count labour as a business cost. Human as capital flies in the face of the central tenant of free enterprise.

A free transaction between two free individuals.

If the option for labour is submit to indentured servitude or starve then taking a job at Walmart or working as an Uber driver to make ends meet is not a free transaction by two free actors
Wrong

People can a do cross borders for work. You and I have done so. My wife has. My grandparents did.

The mechanisms are in place for legal movement of labour.

BC has a temporary foreign worker program simply because Canadians feel the work is too difficult for them and hence labour is imported.
The flaw in this is the equitability of it. You are right that people can cross borders for work, however it is far far far more difficult for people to cross international borders than it is for a corporation where the receiving country is welcoming the influx of jobs and money with open arms.

Companies up and relocate to countries where the labour is far cheaper, although they try and sell it as going somewhere because of taxation (it sounds better to blame it on the government). This results in decent paying jobs leaving the country, and even if the employees of said corporations could follow with the company, they would have to settle for a much lower wage and quality of life.

It's not as easy as you make it sound Tops, not by a long shot.

For Temporary Foreign Workers, isn't that just slave labour for the businesses up here to pay them cheap wages with no vacation/holiday pay, and not give a shit about their working conditions.

Do better Doc. That's not even entry level trolling there.

If Israel is indeed implementing measures that are similar to what Nazi Germany put in place in its persecution of the Jews, then they are becoming like that which they hated.

The United States hated and opposed communism. They are on a one way track towards that very same style of oppressive, controlling, jack-boot, government right now.

That statement is not anti-USA, it's anti-communist in nature and pointing out a comparative.
