OK fair enough, but the solution to that is to reduce the spending of the Federal government to its proper proportions, not to flag wave for a large corporation that is wriggling out of paying. Ultimately, it would be better if the overall tax bill was reduced, and that way corporations would lose incentives to dodge tax bills because it simply wouldnt be worth their while. In the meantime, they should pay up the same way everyone else does, not so? Do you think for one moment that Starbucks is doing this because they share your disgust at the abuse of Federal power?
Ok, i can see your point, however starbucks do not make the laws, they just get by with what they can get by with just like any one else, if people in the government are getting money under the table from starbucks we can blame no one but them as they are the ones who are supposed to be working for us, not starbucks.
