I know it's not an too popular opinion here on HackerNews and I'd say you're sort of right, but you got it in reverse. The problem is not that it's hard to control or tax companies, the problem is that it's not as easy for you or me to do the same.
You have to have significant resources to break free from local restraints, which is really unfortunate. It's also a lot of resources that gets spent, just so people or companies can do whatever they want with their own resources. In other words, it's possibly a loss of production - those resources could have gone elsewhere.
Please be gentle, I'm open for discussing these things.
