    his statement today affirmed he believes the States have a right to decide the matter individually, so any statement yesterday would have been along the lines of “I personally believe same sex couples should have the right to marry and South Carolina has the right to vote on the issue.”

    not a real inspiring rallying call.

    i love the lawyer who sits in the chair and calmly replies “yes, that is legal” when Stephen spins out seemingly absurd scenarios.

    during my temping years i found a black & white checked wool suit that fit me like a dream. i had never had a piece of clothing so well constructed or one that made me feel so good. when i was stepping out of the temp world i saw a flyer for a “dress for success” clothing drive, a program that helps women transitioning into the workforce with their first “work clothes”.

    when i handed over my suit, i felt like i was handing a woman her super hero outfit.

  • rosalind commented on the blog post Apple Holding $60 Billion in Offshore Reserves for Ransom

    2012-03-20 16:37:23View | Delete

    thanks, hektor6766 & sratocruiser.

    i went back and checked a report i cited in my post “No Cash For Criminals” and pulled out this (found in the full report):

    “Some offshore profits stem from legitimate business operations overseas. But a substantial share of these offshore profits come from accounting acrobatics that shift profits generated from sales in the United States to foreign tax havens where corporations face little or no income tax.”

    (emphasis mine)

    so the money parked overseas IS a combination of overseas profits and u.s. profits moved out of the country.

    correct me if i’m wrong, but this is profit earned in America correct, then stashed in off-shore accounts?

    meaning Apple made this $60 billion in the USA courtesy of the American consumers, then removed this cash from our Tax Base leaving our financially strapped Counties holding the bag.

    if only our Corporations had the capacity for shame.
