It's downright ridiculous to complain about companies taking perfectly legal steps to reduce their tax burden.As the oft-quoted US judge Learned Hand said:> Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury.

public duty to pay more than the law demands
