That’s the repatriation tax rate, not what corporations themselves are paying annually. LMT’s effective tax rate is around 20%. It also doesn’t mean a better bottom line or higher stock prices.

I totally misinterpreted that. I was picturing someone sticking a couple fingers down their throat to introduce a few bullies to a partially digested egg salad sandwich. But honestly who’d know the difference? It’s egg salad after all.

Reminds me of that “Would you rather” that Fallon did with Springsteen:

“The capricious assignment of solitary confinement”

It’s bad if your retirement portfolio includes the ticker LMT.WD.

“I have a real problem with her serving 35 years in military prison, given the completely inhumane treatment she’s endured so far.”

Yes the White Sox got some great prospects out of the deal, but it costs the Red Sox, who have a rediculous farm system, relatively little. As a Red Sox fan I thought for sure…
