"saying the tax is modest in comparison to the cost of moving a business."
Basically admitting that the thought process is charging as much taxes as you can possible get away with.
- smolder 6y agoI agree they shouldn't be seeking to grow their budget endlessly. Why do we accept that behavior from businesses? IME, they often effectively ruin their own products and do harm to society by attempting to extract the maximum benefit from market position. It seems that in many people's opinions they're just behaving as they should.
