One Loophole....



The Treasury Department introduced a regulation that would negate the tax benefits of Pfizer's acquisition of Allergan.  Shares in Allergan opened down more than 15 percent on Tuesday, after the U.S. Treasury Department proposed new tax regulations that could kill its $160 billion agreement to be bought by Pfizer.

Pfizer's deal to buy Dublin-based Allergan was conceived under rules that would have allowed the company to move its headquarters to Ireland and lower its tax rate

Tax inversion is a term for the relocation of a corporation's legal domicile to a lower-tax nation, or corporate haven, usually while retaining its material operations in its higher-tax country of origin. 

Tax inversions are a form of tax avoidance, whereby corporations and individuals arrange their affairs to legally reduce their tax obligations.  U.S. Internal Revenue Code imposes income tax on the profits of American corporations' foreign subsidiaries.This creates a strong incentive for American companies with large overseas markets to seek to re-characterize themselves as a foreign corporation.

Lack of competition with Canada,  Prevent individual from importing their own medication, Allowing fake internet pharmacies which scam the consumer, free to price their medication 5000% higher than what it was a week ago and you get Monopoly.

How much did Pfizer paid in taxes the past five years?  Just a thought.

Suppress the apetite...

  1. Apples are a great food to eat when you’re trying to lose weight. Low in fat, calories and  fiber. 
  2. Oatmeal – is full of fiber which helps you stay full. It has plenty of good carbs that will break down slowly. Low on the glycemic index.
  3. Pine nuts – contain a compound known as pinolenic acid, which is a polyunsaturated fat that curbs your hunger. High in protein which helps build strong muscles.
  4. Flaxseeds – Flaxseeds hamper the uptake of sugars from foods, helping to hedge hunger pains.
  5. Water – A lot of people confuse being hungry for being thirsty. If you’re craving food, but you just ate or know that your body shouldn’t be hungry yet, grab a tall glass of water to enjoy.
  6. Green tea – Not only is green tea an excellent appetite suppressant, it’s also loaded with antioxidants to help keep you healthy.
  7. Whey protein – is excellent for building muscle mass. It has been shown that people who eat protein reported that they felt fuller. 
  8. Low-calorie soups – Low cal soups are an excellent source of water and they allow you to eat until you feel full without consuming an excessive number of calories.
  9. Salad – Salad is high in fiber, especially if you pack in cabbage, endives, broccoli and other delicious vegetables. 
  10. Dark chocolate – The bittersweet taste of dark chocolate is actually an appetite suppressant. Add on the antioxidant qualities and you have a perfect excuse to indulge in a sweet treat. Dark.                     Just a thought.

Hillary's Foreign Policy-Libya !!!! ???

Experience.. ..

 Image result for hillary/obama/

Hillary Clinton’s vote to authorize the Iraq War haunted her on the campaign trail. It put her in stark contrast with then-Senator Barack Obama, who touted his foresight in opposing the ill-fated war.

President Obama was deeply wary of another military venture in a Muslim country. Most of his senior advisers were telling him to stay out. Still, he dispatched Mrs. Clinton to sound out Mr. Jibril, a leader of the Libyan opposition. 

Defense secretary, Robert Gates, later say that in a “51-49” decision, it was Mrs. Clinton’s support that put the ambivalent president over the line.The consequences would be more far-reaching than anyone imagined, leaving Libya a failed state and a terrorist haven.

Clinton joined Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and right-wing Israelis to try to isolate, even defeat, Iran. In 2010, she supported secret negotiations between Israel and Syria to attempt to wrest Syria from Iran’s influence.   Then the CIA and Clinton pressed successfully for Plan B: to overthrow Assad.

When the unrest of the Arab Spring broke out in early 2011, the CIA and the anti-Iran front of Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey saw an opportunity to topple Assad quickly and thereby to gain a geopolitical victory. Clinton became the leading proponent of the CIA-led effort at Syrian regime change.

So what do we have here. We are fighting in Libya and Syria, a no man's Land but the terrorists.
what kind of Foreign policy experience does Hillary have?

Pure Jealousy

 

The National Enquirer alleged that the senator has had five extramarital affairs.

The Twitter-sphere has lit up with conversation about the scandal.  It appears many political followers believe they have identified three of the blurred out images within the National Enquirer story.

Private detectives are digging into at least five affairs Ted Cruz supposedly had,” the paper said. “The leaked details are an attempt to destroy what’s left of his White House campaign!”

The National Enquirer broke the story of former Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edward’s affair with reporter Reille Hunter back in 2007,  Gary Hart, Jesse Jackson and John Edwards to name a few of the more infamous examples. Though, in 2008 they completely fabricated story of Sarah Palin cheating on her husband.   

The blogosphere has been consumed with theories about the identities of these five women.
Rumors have been spreading that CNN conservative correspondent, a former campaign manager, and a spokeswoman, all had an affair with Cruz.

I Don't Believe it.   Just a thought.
