Eric Schmidt: Google Will Continue Investing In UK Even If Taxes Raised
DavidGilbert99 writes "Eric Schmidt hasn't changed his stance on Google's tax policies in the UK but has said that even if the tax legislation changes in the UK it will continue to invest in the country because 'we love the UK.' Gushing about its relationship with the UK, Schmidt said: 'Google will invest in the UK no matter what you guys do, because the UK is just too important for us. The citizens are too important for us and in our view we provide too much good.'"
(Beware the auto-playing video advertisements). This after writing an Op-Ed lamenting the complexity of international taxes.
If you don't mind paying taxes, then why not simply abolish taxation and then you can voluntarily donate your money to the government?
If you derive a direct benefit from them, why don't you continue to pay your taxes (voluntarily) and let those of us who receive little to no benefit from them not pay them, instead of condoning violence to force people to pay for things that you want?
Taxation is legalized theft, no more, no less.
