Coke chief criticises US tax rules Coca-Cola now sees the US becoming a less friendly business environment than China, its chief executive has revealed, citing political gridlock and an antiquated tax structure as reasons its home market has become less competitive. Muhtar Kent, Coke’s chief executive, said “in many respects” it was easier doing business in China, comparing the country with a well-managed company. “You have a one-stop shop in terms of the Chinese foreign investment agency and local governments are fighting for investment with each other,” he told the Financial Times. Mr Kent also pointed to Brazil as an example of an emerging economy that is making itself attractive to investment in ways that the US once did. “They’re learning very fast, these countries,” he said. “In the west, we’re forgetting what really worked 20 years ago. In China and other markets around the world, you see the kind of attention to detail about how business works and how business creates employment.” Mr Kent argued that US states did not compete enough with each other to attract businesses while Chinese provinces were clamouring to draw investment from international companies. Meanwhile, he said, China’s budget discipline and rapid economic growth made it an appealing place to set up operations. |
Je me rappelle avoir déjà vu un article qui montrait que les États-Unis étaient un des pays les plus communistes au sens original du terme.
Si on définit le communisme comme la mise en commun des moyens de production, si on mesure le degré de communisme par la part de propriété des moyens de production détenue par les travailleurs… les USA sont pas mal communistes.
Pourquoi?
Parce que la proportion de la population qui détient des actions (directement ou par l’intermédiaire des fonds de pension) y est élevée. Lorsqu’une entreprise fait des profit elle enrichit les travailleurs en augmentant la valeur des fonds de pension et les prolétaires en profitent.
C’est une façon de voir les choses.
La mode est de dire qu’Obama et sa clique sont communistes ou gauchistes. Bref, la pire insulte possible que l’on puisse faire…notamment sur ce blog.
Pendant ce temps là, ici on se bat CONTRE les investisseurs qui veulent investir, même des compagnies d’ici (Junex, pétrolia)
