You have a lot of problems with your argument.<p>If you have a local taxi company, you make tax money from that company. If it&#x27;s at least in your country, you make tax money from that company. If the support employees are in your city&#x2F;country, you make tax money from those people.<p>So if the company is not from your country, and their support&#x2F;offices&#x2F;profits all go somewhere else, it&#x27;s a loss for you (as a city or country) because before you got to make more money from the local taxi companies. Which you would hopefully use to pay for different services (not sure why you think 311 is the only conceivable cost here).<p>And honestly, you think rich people pay more taxes? Sorry, it&#x27;s just not the case. 1 person making 100x more than an average person is going to pay less net taxes and will buy fewer things (even if it&#x27;s more expensive stuff) than 100 people.
