Colorado Springs, CO | Towns have gotten greedy In addition to fees some towns have held out for other concessions. Such as emergency veichles and such.
I'm sure the 40k they lose will quickly be made up in property tax valuation increases they use a backdoor tax increases every year.

Either that or politicians will finally hold the line on spending elsewhere. Emergency vehicles come first. But new highways to nowhere, Centers for the Performing Arts, tax breaks for favorite corporations, etc, etc, should be removed from the budget. Maybe this will force it to occur. |

| If anything they should be cutting taxes for all individuals and corporations. High taxes hurt the economy and whenever politicians talk about taxing corporations, they're always talking about using the corporations to collect their taxes, at everyone's expense. |

If you do business in America, you pay taxes to America.
Just like if you live in Illinois and work in Missouri. You still pay taxes in MO even though you don't live there. |

00000 | Foreign consulting company Accenture (formerly part of the infamous Anderson Consulting) uses Bermuda as a tax haven. It's widely agreed that they being based out of Bermuda is strictly to dodge taxes. I believe I read they pay about $30-40,000 a year to the government there, while in the U.S. their bill would be much higher.

| You are incorrect. Accenture is a partnership and the partners pay taxes on behalf of the company in the form of income taxes since all income from the company flows down through the partnership. Unless every person that is a partner of Accenture lives in Bermuda and never steps foot in the US then they are paying taxes on the company's behalf to the US just as BearingPoint or any other former accounting firm's consulting group is. |

1 edit | You are incorrect.
Accenture is a public company (NYSE:ACN) that decided, for TAX AVOIDANCE reasons, to move to Bermuda. This is widely documented:
»www.washingtontechnology.com/new···7-1.html
»www.ioc.state.il.us/news/ViewNew···70837156
»www.usatoday.com/money/companies···ax_x.htm
and the GAO even noted it:
»www.gao.gov/new.items/d03194r.pdf
In October 2002, the Congressional General Accounting Office (GAO) identified Accenture as one of four publicly-traded federal contractors that were incorporated in a "tax haven" country. |
