Tax Dollars to British distiller for Captain Morgan rum

Here's the way it works: Anything Obama does is wrong. Anything he didn't do, he should have done. And anything that happens while he is President is his fault. Unless it's good, then it's not. Clear?

Silly me. When Clinton had a good economy it was Reagan's fault. And Ruby Ridge was Clinton's fault even though he wasn't in office yet. 9/11 was Clinton's fault when he wasn't in office. Recession Bush had in 2001 was Clinton's fault. Recession in 2009 Obama's fault. Attack one month into Clinton's term... Clinton's fault. I see the pattern

You're blaming the president for something that has been happening since 1917. The rum tax going to rum producing caribbean territories owned by the US.

Say it again Joe because brick walls cannot hear too well and they sure as hell do not want to hear the truth. "You're blaming the president for something that has been happening since 1917. The rum tax going to rum producing caribbean territories owned by the US."

So in other words now you want him to get involved in business while at the same time bitching about the bailouts. You're entirely inconsistent in your reasoning. Obama doesn't have the power to repeal the rum tax that would be inherant on congress.

Okay so did you feel the same way about 9/11?

Well, first off, you have to understand that this and the bailouts are two different animals. You do know that, right?

...and it only took the incorporation of alcohol to achieve it.

The birthers will now claim that Obama is a TIME TRAVELER and that he somehow casued that problem in 1917.



we had the TEA POT DOWM SCANDAL now we have the 1917 RUM SCANDAL !!!
 
Must be part of his education plan.

The only people I know who drink Captain Morgans are "Cap and Coke" frat boys.

Good to know that on one hand, Obama is cracking down on overseas tax-avoidance schemes and on the other hand is creating his own. When you are the decider you get to do what you want.

You're right selective outrage one second you want the government involved the next you want the government to stay out. Try to be consistent

Didn't know Obama was born in 1917 which is when the rum tax act was enacted and when we started giving tax money from rum to caribbean producing nations we owned as well as companies there. This is old news nothing related to Obama

It's the Rush effect. It's very easy to follow the "logic". No matter what happens it's never the fault of Republicans. Ever. Large deficits under Obama are because he's a "socialist". Large deficits under Reagan were because he was bravely fighting against the tyranny of the USSR. So they were OK. We're not sure why we also had large deficits under Bush I, but whatever the reason was, it was for our own good. So they were OK. The record deficits (at the time) under Shrub were because he was protecting 'Merca from terrorists who lurk around every corner. Remember 9/11? If Clinton had not caused it, Bush would not have run up the deficit. The prescription drug benefit passed by the GOP was because they love our seniors. Of course, if Obama proposed the same thing it would be a "big government entitlement program" by a President bent on socialism. They would have tea parties and town hall meetings to fight it. Every recession we've ever had was caused by Democrats, regardless of whether they were even in power. Gridlock? Caused by Democrats. Lobbyists controlling Washington? Democrats again. A 1917 law about Rum taxes? Obama's fault. Sure, his grandfather may not have even been born in 1917, but that just shows how evil he really is. He was even able to determine before his birth that he would be President someday, so he forged his Hawaii birth annoucement and certificate from the womb in Kenya. They are shifty, those Democrats. But don't fret, Rush Hannity and Apdst are on to them.

I'm starting to think that PBO really is stupid. I used to think he was very intelligent, but had a screwed up agenda.

Sounds like Captain Morgan is getting the same kind of tax incentives that "US" companies get (or avoid) by moving overseas. If it's ok for the US corporate conglomerates to avoid paying US taxes, what's the problem with this?

no no no you just don't get do you ! Obama is a Time Traveler. He dons his tin foil hat and travels either back in time or forward. he traveled back in time to 1917 and started the Morgan mess. You can say that he was drunk with power !!
