Wait a second. These are earnings that Google international made. So, yes, perhaps they have weaseled out of paying taxes in the UK or various European countries but IMO they shouldn't owe the US a dime of that money. It wasn't made in the US. I find it really frustrating that people talk about discuss these things as "look at all the revenue the US lost because of this!". Sure, and look how much the mafia lost on it too! Both of these armed groups could have made more money if they just extorted foreign agents and took their money (calling it "protection money" or "tax" or whatever seems appropriate).
