I didn't say that corporations should be the same tax as individuals. I've said that's unfair for Apple to pay less tax than any other EU corporation/company. How can you compete with Apple if they pay no tax and your start-up pays 20% ? How could Apple have succeeded if they were to pay 20% tax and all the others (i.e. IBM) was to pay no tax?
> What about the notion that corporations should pay no tax at all, and the only taxes should be on individuals.
That would be basically slavery of foreign people(not nice).
- bluedevil2k 10y agoSlavery? That's quite a jump of thought from tax policy. Maybe you should reconsider your statement
- themihai 10y agoThe burden of the taxes they don't pay winds up on others, who have to make up the difference. What is when you are forced to work for a powerful company that pays you nothing? Extortion, fraud?
