" multinationals are allowed to take the resources of the various nation states they operate in while contributing nothing themselves".
I agree with the sentiment that they should receive equal treatment than local/smaller companies, but saying that they contribute "nothing" is unfair and ingenuous, they do in terms of creation of local jobs and the direct and indirect taxes they pay for them.

- tobltobs 10y agoThere is nothing in your wikipedia article which says that "Creating jobs" is an antipattern for "trickle-down" economics.
