Quote from: albrecht on July 09, 2014, 09:55:08 PMWhen did I say I didn't want company xyz to succeed? I just want them to pay their taxes.
Well, we disagree a bit on that part. To me, as a shareholder in some and as a worker, I don't mind if a company succeeds. But by actually producing something, making an honest profit, providing a wanted or needed service. Not by tax code manipulation or on lobbying (or buying) politicians and so by regulatory capture. I have no problem with profit, but want honest profit.
But, you're right, some of all that talent working on taxes (on all sides) will do things in non-profits, charities, businesses, corporations, churches, or even government- or where-ever that will benefit society better.
