Of course you do dear, but you also exploit every possible loophole of inter-country commerce to make your bill as small as possible, regardless of the intention of the law in the countries involved or any sort of social contract.

Expect the law to change.

If my accountant paid a penny more taxes than I owed I would fire them. That politicians are attacking successful companies for trying to pay as little in taxes as possible is offensive and embarrassing. If you're unhappy with the law then change it. Otherwise shut the hell up and stop wasting the tax money you're complaining about.

You would make a terrible accountant.

So? I'm not an accountant.

I'm an individual with an interest in multinationals paying tax on their profits rather than spiriting them out of the country tax free. This is why I hope to see the law change.
