Companies are amoral optimising for shareholder value/return. It's not that they don't want to pay tax, it's just better for shareholder value that they don't.

- GaryNumanVevo 7y agoIf I'm a company whose value is hypothetically tied to the number of people I kill. No hard feelings, companies are amoral. If I kill you, that's just business.
- mirimir 7y agoThat sounds extreme, but many businesses weigh profits vs liability. For example, there are old industrial areas pretty much everywhere contaminated by all sorts of toxic waste. There was a furniture refinishing business not far from here, and there's a huge groundwater plume of toxic solvents under me. So no wells for us, here.
