    > I'm responding to a thread about Facebook "lobbying" legislators for tax carve outs. Yah, that's not what the thread said. Facebook is simply deducting a business expense, there was no carve out. > I choose to call it what it is - a bribe. Except there was no bribe, you just made something up. > You called it theft, because thats your libertarian ideology poking through. I did not call it theft and I'm not a libertarian. > I said that taxes avoided is money denied to the public. I said that there is no such concept as "taxes avoided". That not something that exists. You can't "avoid" taxes, either you need to pay them or you don't. It's not a thing to be able to just "avoid" them. You are arguing imaginary thing that never happened, and using concepts that don't exist to make your point.
