Burger King announced its intent to merge with Canadian chain Tim Hortons, creating the world's third largest fast food chain. As part of the deal, Burger King would relocate its operations to Canada -- in order to take advantage of Canada's much lower corporate tax rate. This is yet another example of corporations trying any and everything to avoid paying taxes.
This merger also means Burger King will become one of the world's largest poverty-wage employer. American taxpayers already subsidize the fast food industry's low wages by an estimated $7 billion dollars a year. Moving to Canada is just another way for Burger King to privatize profits and socialize costs.
That's why I signed a petition to Daniel S. Schwartz, Burger King CEO, which says:
"Burger King is buying out Canadian fast food chain Tim Hortons and moving its corporate headquarters to Canada to avoid paying US corporate taxes. I demand that Burger King keep their headquarters based in the US."
