A Tax Expert Takes Tim Cook's EU Letter Apart Point by Point
We often accuse authorities of going after the small, while leaving the big offenders free.<p>The average individual working person has no negotiation when it comes to what taxes they pay. The average business has to be very careful, fully aware that they are at an extra competitive disadvantage compared to the international mega-corporations who are effectively given huge financial subsidies by entire nation states.<p>It’s not personal. Tim Cook knows that what's happening is right, but nevertheless he is required to defend the tax advantage, same as the Ireland, as with the US where mega-business and corporations have a strangle-hold on government and law.<p>Every individual should support the EU. If the EU is defeated here it will be a loss to the small man and small business. If defeated it will enshrine by default the creeping imbalance of power that corporations have over the individual nation and people.
