    You're not making any sense. It is giving a 1-11 month interest-free loan. If you don't make the loan, though, you can treat it like the rest of your cash flows and invest it accordingly, including some into long-term investments. The money doesn't disappear from your bank account after you file your return. You don't stop gaining interest on it. You don't stop gaining interest on its interest.

    Google lobbied for a lower tax rate in the UK? Is this what you're going to go with? Really?

    I hope so. Though it's still theft if someone steals ten dollars from me at gunpoint, even if they buy me a candy bar with it before they leave with the rest.

    Cut our spending, because of his tax avoidance?

    No. Cut your spending because you put programs in place that you can only pay for if you pick people to pay more than they are required.

    Just like Schmidt, you too seems to lack a sense of social responsibility.

    I've got this disease where I work and take care of myself and my family instead of expecting others to do it for me. Damndest thing. I even wipe my own ass.

    In other words, his relationship to other people is that of a sociopath.

    No. It's that of an intelligent businessman.

    And if you don't think avoiding taxes in the country where you are making your profits is wrong, kindly check the comments from politicians of all parties in the UK.

    Well, then. If the UK politicians are bitching about it, it must surely be bad. Turd.

    The country has its faults, but wholesale political corruption by corporations is not one of them.

    No, but coddling of the crybaby population of special little snowflakes is chief among them. What promises were made to you, exactly? It's quite simple. What was owed was paid. If it's not enough, you can either chip in to cover it or cut spending. Or piss and moan. Whatever does it for you.

    This is part of the problem. People have no idea what they're doing. I remember a reddit post a while back where a lady couldn't figure out why she owed money but all her friends were getting refunds. It's like these people think it's a lottery. Notice Pope called it a "return" rather than a "refund." People are fucking clueless.

    Just because you gave them a "noticeable" interest-free loan doesn't mean it's not theft. It means you're an idiot.

    But it would nice to know that you could guarantee in the future that someone could NOT post less then flattering photos of you. Given that that's entirely impossible anyway, and any attempt to do so simply infringes on other peoples' rights to free speech without actually accomplishing that goal, I'll pass, thanks.
