How did you read anything different in my post?

That may be your point but that isn't the reality. "Should" very rarely equals "is." And when you are talking about an international company anyway, it's really not that far out of the imagination that they would set up shop anywhere in the world. If they are setting up shop anywhere in the world (where they do business), why would they not go to the cheapest tax areas?

It also sounds like you're talking about personal income taxes, and not corporate taxes.

The economist in the video brought up some interesting points, though I don't know anything else about him. Not sure what the answer is, but stomping feet screaming that "mega corporations should pay more taxes!" just isn't going to do squat.
