Three European Countries Block Tax on Tech Giants
As a french, seing french government officials trying to impose their knee-jerk « let’s tax it » reaction to any kind of problem makes me absolutely sick. They’re just a bunch of jealous incompetent insufferable pompous politicians than don’t understand a thing about the private sector and so instead of trying to fix the numerous reason why we don’t have any competitor to google / facebook etc ( such as our best engineers fleeing to silicon for the last 30 years) , and how come all those companies HQ in europe are in ireland, prefer to add tax.<p>That will solve absolutely NOT A SINGLE ISSUE , but it’s just another income to feed the bureaucracy.<p>Thanks to the three countries that stopped this madness.<p>PS : i also find it outrageous that gafa don’t pay taxes, but let’s fix the tax heavens in Europe then. Don’t start making special taxes on <i>revenue</i> ffs.<p>EDIT : changed "income" to revenue.
