There's no doubt that we get better tax solutions in the short term. Long term, it makes government services we rely upon to sustain our business untenable. This is the problem with an "economic self-interest" argument: scale matters.
There's also the point that in the grand scheme of things, our companies don't matter and their short term windfalls shouldn't come at the cost of funding for education and social services that make it possible to sustain a healthy economy in the future. I certainly don't think my nascent company is more important than funding public education for the next generation in my country.
