Surely there's a better way. This seems... arbitrary.

  What makes you think it is arbitrary?

  Grabbing dodged taxes from corporations is somewhat arbitrary, in that it doesn’t happen because republicans keep defunding the IRS, which is a major issue because nabbing tax dodging corporations has a massive return on investment. If Microsoft is getting busted, it’s not arbitrary. They just dodged their taxes poorly.

    > they just dodged their taxes poorly. Exactly.

  As an AnCap, I believe that involuntary taxation is theft, however, I also believe that each individual must focus on their own benefit. I also believe that these large corporations were largely built up and propped up by non-trivial amounts of public money and other forms of government help to begin with. As I don't own any Microsoft stock and I don't use their products and I stand to slightly benefit (in my career) from them having less money, I don't have any moral issues with this SEC filing.
