That pretty much sums up tax evasion and what is going on. Especially when tax rate in country A is 0.005% and tax rate in country B is 23%.
Now I don't fault any corporation for doing what they can to garner profit to the best of their abilities. But shady shit like this makes me shake my head.
Corporations don't do that, human beings in corporations do that, they just use the corporate structure to not only insulate themselves against various liabilities but also their conscious against the very same type of systematic abuse they have no problem pointing the finger at others like the "welfare queen" or the individual who tries to hide their money in an overseas account.
When you believe profit is the only thing that matters and nothing else does, anything could be justified including slavery and other human rights abuses as long as you have a legal structure (the corporation) that allows you to insulate your conscious against decisions that allow such things..
