Then grab the list of accounts the US is spying on because that list is in the hands of google who don't have formal handling procedures for classified information and so are an easy target versus some system behind an air-gap firewall.
PROTIP: Involving untrained individuals or organizations in intelligence gathering operations is a bad idea. They tend to leak information to either the targets of investigations or third parties with interests in such surveillance.
How did Google USA smuggle the trademark out of the USA and into the Cayman islands? If I put more then $10,000 in cash or property into my luggage and try exiting the country without declaring it, I can be fined and/or imprisoned.
Based on a billion dollar annual payment from France alone, that trademark must be worth some multiple of a billion dollars. I think Customs and the IRS would really like to know who slipped it through our border.
That's funny. Because many US companies move their intellectual property overseas to low tax regimes (like Ireland). And then they 'charge' their US divisions fees (deductible from US income) for the use of that IP.
How did they move billions of dollars of property out of US? If I try to haul more than $10,000 in cash (diamonds, securities, whatever) undeclared across the border, Customs will have my ass.
You miss the point about citizenship. Its not a privilege, its a burden. As a citizen, the government can require certain things of you. As a non citizen, they cannot.
The way it actually works is: You make money in France. You pay France 25% of your profits (I'm just pulling numbers out of my *ss. Bear with me.) But the US tax rate is 35%. You get a credit for that 25% paid but you still owe 10% to the US govt.
Why? The USA didn't have anything to do with your profits earned in France. So you move your corporation to a low tax jurisdiction. You pay France 25% of your French profits. You pay the USA 35% of your US profits (but only those earned in the USA). And all the looters in the US scream about you stealing 'their' taxes.
... or has an endless supply of arrogance. They are about to get their ass handed to them for acquiring AP reporters' phone records without justification. And so they go to work on more powerful wiretapping tools.

Reminds me of a story:
Little Zachary was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything...tutors, mentors, flash cards, special learning centers, and more.
In short, everything they could think of to help his math.
Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him In the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying.
Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work. His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner.
To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before.
This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference.
Finally, little Zachary brought home his Report Card. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, His Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, Little Zachary got an 'A' in math.
She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and said, 'Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?' Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no. 'Well, then,' she replied, Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? WHAT WAS IT?'
Little Zachary looked at her and said, 'Well, on the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they took their math seriously.'
I was afraid that I was going to have to spend a lot of money to get back at my SOB neighbor by building a big, ugly fence. Now I can do it with an anonymous post .
The USA isn't the only country capable of reaching outside of its borders to enforce its laws. Whether they've actually got the balls (bollocks) to act is another question. And if the UK files charges and the USA refuses to extradite, just don't travel to the EU. Or fly from Seatte to New York and cross through Canadian airspace.
An issue as in "Why can't we have the fun toy too?"
Probably because most of the civilian shooters here recognize this piece of gear as not having a sporting application. It allows people to shoot without developing a real skill. And most gun enthusiasts are interested in shooting as a sport.
One could capture a series of snapshots of the aiming point, use some sort of smoothing algorithm to filter out the jitter and figure out what the intended target point is.
From that point on, its similar to how a marksman shoots. You don't try to hold the rifle perfectly still. You squeeze as the crosshair swings across the target.

What's the pre-tax poverty level for a corporation? Why aren't we restricting them to this figure as a deduction limit?

For some reason, a lot of people forget that corporations, unlike people, pay income tax on NET rather than gross
But corporations are people. Why can't I pay income taxes on my net rather than gross?

That opposable thumb you've got there buddy. Cease and desist using it. Or you'll hear from my attorney.
You walk into an AutoZone looking for a case of 10W50 with a lit stick of dynamite and the clerks will help you out pretty damn fast.

We apologize again for the fault in the Internet. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.
Every time we take it apart, we end up with spare parts when we reassemble it.
If we keep this up, pretty soon we'll have enough to build another Internet.
Yes, but are there customers in the UK?

So can I. Well, I knew the reason once. But I forgot.
I need my guns in case some stoners try to steal my hemp crop.
