- account-5 5y agoExactly, thanks for the counterpoint example. No if we had a decent system for making the likes of Amazon, Facebook, Apple, et al, actually pay taxes in the countries they clearly do business in I think that would be better than one off fines, however big.
- nickpp 5y agoExcept EU businesses also pay taxes in the country they are based in, instead of the countries they did business in, like, say, the USA. It was a quid-pro-quo system that started becoming imbalanced when EU failed to create competitive business in tech. But that is not USA's fault.
