Amazon, Google and Apple Won't Need To Pay Tax, Despite Goverment Threats

Posted by timothy on from the rent-done-been-sought dept.

girlmad writes "Despite moves by government to get Google, Amazon and Apple to admit they make sales in the UK and US, and therefore should pay tax on these earnings, this article argues these are empty threats and that any taxes paid will get returned to the tech giants in government grants and subsidies. Tough luck to the small firms out there."

    Good for Apple and Google. The government didn't earn the money they want to take. The people at Apple and Google worked hard to earn that money, why should it be stolen from them to pay for giveaways to non-workers?

    The west as a whole has declined into Fascism. You can only expect fascist policy to take hold.
