Want to evade some taxes? Well, guess what, if you’re given a free HAI t-shirt, which has (a very limited amount) of value, it qualifies as a gift and therefore you don’t have to pay taxes on it! Then you can just go sell it and then bam, free money. (My lawyer asked me to include a message saying that this is not legal advice, is not true, and that you should never take advice, legal or otherwise, from me.) How do you get a free HAI t-shirt? Glad you asked. Just submit a topic suggestion for HAI here and then, if we use it, you’ll get that free t-shirt shipped to wherever you are: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUdlvw6YgU44J8AnM2U_ZvRMyvh_CUM51LYSqF5nYJB9d1-w/viewform?usp=sf_link

Tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance is legal.
I live in Virginia and go to maryland for most summer vacations, near the Delaware border. There's almost no stores on the maryland side of the border, then as soon as you enter Delaware they're everywhere. Those corporations, with what little taxes they do pay to Delaware, enable them to charge no sales tax and other types of taxes so it's great for the people there too
Simile is a type of metaphor. Cheers.
North North western Dakota gang
In Europe we call that Luxembourg
that skillshare taxes cource sounds nice but i dont like in america
The writers like wait that’s our sense of humor... until tax season
Would love to see a picture of the room with the 285.000 mailboxes...
Yet all those companies are Democrats that want you to pay more taxes 🙃
Lol. I'm watching in 2021 when former vice president Joe Biden is 9 days away from being president lol
What happens outside Delaware, stays in Delaware.
1:14 President Elect Biden
Actually Boden is now officially the president
so... we gonna go change this now?
In Europe there is something akin to this; it's called De Zuidas in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
That should be fraud.
Delaware doesn’t have sales tax either
*Sees* *thumbnail* Is it Delaware?
Ross also didn’t think of Delaware
I’m not a fan of the dry humor.
Wow that joe Biden joke did not age well
You're going to need to update the Biden joke
I have to say, this channel has some of the most intelligent and profoundly hilarious humor and I truly appreciate it. I can watch a video about quite literally anything, no matter if I am interested in the topic or not. I will learn something and bust out laughing a dozen times and all that from one video. I love you, HAI!
So the USA already has a fiscal paradise of sorts within its own borders , uh !
I am from Delaware
While companies are paying Taxes *after* expenses, you have to pay taxes *before* expenses. Wonderful system we have set up here, isn't it?

I fail to see a problem with this
or a few dozen U.s. senators ... lmao too accurate
And I thought this video was about the building were all the patent trolls have offices right across from a Texas courthouse. (Now that make a good video. Or maybe you already have that video.)
The Biden joke aged well :)
Corporate taxes need to be raised in Delaware!
Why are you treating your subscribers like idiots almost every goddam person in the United States knows that Delaware is the home of most corporations dam Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back by trying to feel smarter than everybody else
2:38 *the last one is actually east northeast dakota
1:15 i can't tell if he actually think that that's joe biden
*former Vice President Joe Biden*
The giraffe as interesting is hilarious

Yeah former vicepresident Joe Biden
Anyone watching noticing President-Elect Joe Biden
Biden helped make Delaware a corporate haven. Change we can believe in.
1:15 "or former Vice-President Joe Biden" ehhh......
EastNorthWestDakota
@1:15 Democrat voters want to know your location.
Why only 285000? Why not more, or all? It makes things much easier. NJ government will buy the building and they will all pay NJ tax.
Delawarriors.
When I worked as a nobody programer at a big law firm for one year this is basically what I learned.
"Former Vice President, Joe Biden." Well this didn't age well.

Work on your metaphors? Ha, you mean work on your similes, because you used the word “like”
Amazing what businesses can get way with, where as a thousandth of similar acts will get the common bloke buried. Horrendous
Why did you choose the background of Lithuania, Vilnius at 03:39? Since I am from Vilnius, I felt very surprised haha.
Woo! Delaware represented! Shout out to all my fellow Delawarians!
The person who is running the mail service is a genius!
Here is the other thing no sales tax
This why Delaware is best state my fellow Delawareans represent
How dare you mistake Captain America for that Alzheimer's affected old fool
4:49 this will not make the debate tonight.
3:55 this wont be brought up tonight - by either the bleeding heart liberal who wants to "help main st" and the business genius - who couldn't find time to change that during the first four years.
0:10 funny you mention that first, I've got a few right now..
Based? Based on what?
Lol I lived on Orange Street for 2 years!
From personal experience, personal income tax in Delaware is an absolute bitch.
So what your saying is those 250k + business pay almost 0 taxes but yet we pay a 1/10 of the item in taxes? I forgot it is 2020
I would like a giraffe. Can you tell me where your nearest uk store is 👍👍👍👍👍
Giraffe As Interesting Oh it's GAI
The other reason why Delaware is popular with companies is the Delaware Court of Chancery. In most states, if a company would want to sue another company it would have to do it in regular courts by regular judges. The Court of Chancery and its judges specialize in corporate law. If you were going solely on taxes, corporations would register in Nevada where taxes are slightly less than Delaware. But the corporations choose Delaware so they can use the Court of Chancery.
Ah yes, the Delaware Loophole, also known as legalized fraud.
I'm watching for the first time exactly one year after it went up!!!
Based on what?
The Dakotas joke at 2:32 made me laugh hard and I dont know why.
I learnt from this video that........ Giraffe's tongue's are creepy.
What if they charge 1 dollar per month
Before watching this, I thought it was going to be about the UPS store.
your hypothetical giraffe business is selling giraffes at $24,234 each which is extremely cheap since the average price of a giraffe is $60,000 mean you hypothetical business is selling giraffes 59.69% cheaper than the the average cost
Delawalruses 🤣 sry to the people who live there but it was really funny
How is this not fraud?
I know Full Stop Management (Jeff Azoff's (Harry Styles manager) company is in Delaware. Its not at that address though. Its at 160 GREENTREE DR STE 101, DOVER, Kent, DE, 19904. I'm guessing its another building that does the same for businesses. I googled the address up and this pops up first. nraiservices.com/contact-us/ Its not the CT people.
