Except governments don't move to tax heavens or other countries when things tank. It is in the interest of governments to maintain a viable economy and society, not so for private sector. That difference alone is enough to not do this silly "if you don't trust corporations then your government is the same" bs rhetoric. We don't even need to talk about due process and duty of care.

If there wasn't a government (other problems of that aside), the corporation wouldn't have to move. Simply put, it's a clash of two worlds - as we all know. BTW what is the corporation supposed to do? Take the bullet? Why the hell would they do that? Would you personally do that? Economic migration is absolutely normal, especially today. Are you angry that people are moving away because things tank? I suppose not. Guess what? A corporation is made up of people.

  > If there wasn't a government (other problems of that aside), the corporation wouldn't have to move. Simply put, it's a clash of two worlds - as we all know. Absolute nonsense. When a medical or economical crisis comes, do you really think that the same companies that flee from increased taxes (because of said problems) would voluntarily try to solve the problem? of course not.

Except governments don't move to tax heavens or other countries when things tank Yes, by definition ?.. Corporation don't move to tax heaven either, otherwise they wouldn't have people to sell to anymore. Calling me bullshit doesn't bring anything relevant to the discussion

    What do you mean by "move" ? By "move" I mean you're not in the place you were before you "move"
