Google is reaping benefits from the infrastructure built on taxes paid by small companies and yet they fucking dare to say they do more good than them.
Fiber networks? Their employees security by funding Police and the Military? Health care for their employees and customers?
What infrastructure are translators and lawyers using? They still pay normal taxes because they extract profits from a given country and are ought to pay taxes on it. One shouldn't argue whether he or she is ought to pay taxes. If it was the case, 95% of companies and entities would argue that they shouldn't pay a cent. All using their own, twisted logic.
No one wants to pay taxes but avoiding them is unethical and doesn't help the society at all.
They pay their access fee for fiber networks, surely. As they are paying for all utilities.
Should police/military funding be used to protect corporations or citizens? Are citizens paying it with take home salary? Google could hire their own private military, likely for less than the tax burden you're implying they should pay.

Since the post complains largely about behavior in the United States, it seems a fair reminder that from this list Police and Military are paid through taxes, while the others are (for the majority) constitute private transactions for services which individuals have no inherent right to consume.

I am sure many here would be interested in how you would support this assertion.
Fucking hypocrites
