Summary: How Microsoft gets away with crimes that it managed to legalise along with other companies that exploit worldwide populations for the enrichment of very few
LEGALISED tax evasion is working out pretty well for Microsoft. We won't bore people with Microsoft's financial situation, but it is unacceptable that Microsoft pays virtually no tax in Europe and in the United States.
From a new
report in Ireland's Herald:
It sent half a billion euro back to its US parent company after paying no dividend at all the previous year, accounts just filed with the Companies Office show.
India's laws are apparently ahead of EU and US laws because Microsoft was found guilty of tax evasion in India a couple of years ago. Unless people demand change, it won't come.
Microsoft and Gates have armies of lobbyists who rub their backs, so Microsoft robs people in more than one way (even those who don't buy anything from Microsoft).
