a lot of democrats are mad as heck and among them senator sherrod brown calling for a burger king boycottthis afternoon, burger king was promising they just moved their global headquarters north and i think that that was their objection all along and there is another small matter here. burger king was one in america some 60 years ago but the trajectory has been sharp and mostly international. europe, latin america, the middle east. and there is the matter of ownership. including the 3-g capital four years ago. that is right, burger king is brazilian owned. and it is headquartered in boed. and it is headquartered in both new york and rio de janeiro, which also has investments in companies that own anheuser-busch among others. in the largest railroad company in latin america. her backing mongo began a global brand and the global business as have so many american businesses. they all represent originality, ingenuity, innovation, entrepreneurialism. and free enterprise capitalism. and i am for all that an economic patriotism and i believe that there's nothing more patriotic than honoring the

so sherrod brown wants us to eat white castle, you can do that in your 20s, but as you get older you'vegraduate to steak and shake because the white castle sliders are good at three a.m., but but five hours later, watch out. i know you know the white castle. we're going to have more, obviously, because it's a big move, and trends in the entire burger business are really coming into focus. we're joined right now by an analyst with stephens research. he's joining me on the telephone from little rock, arkansas. thank you for joining us on this. at the end of the day, is this about saving money through taxes or is it really about the fact that what we eat is changing as a nation? we're going for different kinds of foods, and burger king better expand quickly? >> thanks for having me. i think it's a little bit of both. is there going to be a tax benefit? sure. i think that's part of it. but also you look at what 3g capital who's a majority owner, they manage corporate costs. so they could come in and find a lot of corporate synergies here, develop an international global platform to take tim

of medical device companies, some 47 over the past decade and while you hear people like senator sherrod brown, and the white house spokesperson said not talking about this in particular, the president thinks it's unpatriotic for countries to move overseas to lower their tax burden because the american people can't do that. nobody likes it but a company's job is to return value for shareholders. what's happening in these cases is shareholders are making money, people who have ef in the companies are making money, the private equity who have been making money but the united states treasury loses revenue and has to be made up somehow. >> the president says it may be legal but it's wrong. as christine pointed out it's unpatriotic but can the president do anything on his own to stop companies from implementing inversion? maybe. we're not sure yet. the treasury department is looking ait the and trying to figure out if it can use the rules and regulations to slow down the process. the best way to fix it for congress to act. i know it's a big lift and congress hasn't done a whole lot but we kno

here's ohio senator sherrod brown.r king's decision to abandon the united states means consumers should turn to wendy's old fashioned hamburgers or white castle sliders." joe wisenthal has been doing great reporting on this. >> thank you. >> there is a higher tax rate in ontario than florida where burger king is located now. it's only by a percentage point or two. is this merger really about taxes? >> i think there's an element of taxes. the company says that it's not warren buffett who is helping to chip in on this deal. saying that it's not about taxes, that the only reason they are relocating to canada is to make the tim hortons' people happy. it seems like there's going to be a tax benefit. burger king's stock fell 20%. i don't think that would have happened if there was no financial benefit. there's an element of that and this year we've seen several tax inversions. >> inversion is this phenomena of companies leaving the country for tax reasons. >> right. so this year there's been a huge wave of companies specific

the ante was upped against when sherrod brown weighed in.r king's decision to abandon the united states means consumers should turn to wendy's old fashioned hamburgers or white castle sliders. my way is to support two companies who have not abandoned their country or customers. they wrote, we hear you, we're not moving, we're just growing and finding ways to serve you better. the decision is not tax driven, the whopper isn't going anywhere. burger king is not alone. tax inversion, which is essentially when a bigger company merges with a smaller company and puts headquarters with a smaller company to pay taxes in that country has been on the rise for the past decade and exploded in 2014. it's getting increasingly high profile attention. >> we need to stop companies from renouncing their citizenship just to get out of paying their fair share of taxes. we can't wait for that. you shouldn't get to call yourself an american company only when you want a handout from american taxpayers. >> so will congress be taking up the president's proposals to

democratic senator sherrod brown of ohio issued a statement that -- both wendy's and white castle areased in ohio. brown also called for the creation of a global minimum tax to eliminate incentives for companies to move. toould like tim dickinson comment on this. he's written extensively about these kinds of deals and others for "rolling stones" where he is a computing editor. talk about this and then what you called the biggest tax scam ever. >> the inversion trend is just the tip of a very destructive iceberg that is seeing the hollowing out of our corporate tax base. inversions are an illegal scam that lets the company technically offshore software lower tax rate and go some hat in hand with companies shipping massive quantities of corporate profits overseas through sort of elaborate schemes. it sits their tax-free energy-related tax-free kind of like a 401(k) does. -- visits their tax-free and collect tax-free really kind of like a 401(k) does. at the same time we're cutting food stamps, cutting feeding paid of the elderly -- heating aids of the elderly, there is half italian doll

senator sherrod brown, ohio democrat, burger king customers should boycott and choose ohio-based wendy'ste castle. responding to criticism, burger king in statement write, close, headquarters will remain in miami where we were founded 60 years ago and business continue as usual around our restaurants around the world. that is true. the burger king brand stays in miami. the company that owns burger king is based in canada. unlikely congress will cool its criticism anytime soon. one analyst says democrats are finding this a useful issue for the midterm elections. >> this potentially is a campaign issue for the democrats because burger king is such a visible company. and i think they will hammer away in the senate. they will try to get legislation. but at end. day very unlikely this congress will do anything this year. so it is up to treasury. i think there is a good chance treasury will do something. >> even if treasury does something, regulation discouraging or penalizing tax inversions could take months to finalize that rule and even longer to litigate. back to you. adam: rich, got to as

sharon brown is worked up about it, and i heard bernie sanders talk about and sherrod brown is calling a boycott. burger king always said have it your way. my way is to support two ohio company that's haven't abandoned their country or customers. >> burger king is setting the table to make a bunch of money in our country and yet avoid paying taxes. well, it looks like public pressure and that kind of talk got to burger king because the company released a statement today saying, wait a minute. we're not moving, we're just growing. our headquarters will remain in miami. the decision to create a new global quick service restaurant leader with tim horton's is not tax driven. it's about global growth for both brands. burger king will continue to pay the federal state and local taxes and whopper, the whopper isn't going anywhere. that's good to know. for them to come out and say it's not tax driven, got a pretty good communications director in that outfit. that's a hard sell. it caused confusion on wall street. cnbc speculated only separational headquarters would stay in florida? >> part of

we have more comments from sherrod brown. guest: he is doing two things. the first thing he is saying is these firms are being unpatriotic and we should boycott them. that may be a little bit too much. of otherng and all invert incorporations are just doing -- minimizing their taxes. that is perfectly legal. how would you stop people from doing this? he is making proposals for legislative change. ofs would reduce the ability tax benefits that go along with this. he is on theay, far end of the clinical spectrum on the left. when youg republicans, get down to doing tax reform and how you would change the law, the chairman of the ways can -- hadmeans committee, he similar proposals to what sharad brown is talking about that would limit corporations to ship profits abroad. there is a realistic tax reform. there would be breaks put on these deals. host: what is the incentive for a company to stay headquartered in america if there is a merger situation overseas? anst: there is not much of incentive. if you have two equal partners [captions copyright national cab
