I'm no scientist but I'm pretty sure a fair test is conducted by using, at the very least, similar models. But I am pretty sure you just compared the worldwide profits of a company with the localized nationwide profits of another company. I don't really ****ing care to be honest. I have a kindle and I regularly buy **** off of Amazon. That doesn't mean I think they pay their fair share of tax. Especially not when they receive government grants worth more than what they paid in tax.
Stop smoking weed? thats crazy talk. I stopped drinking and the real drugs, though am supposed to be having a drink tonight.
Don't think we actually disagree on much - the only point I was trying to add was that with profit margins that tight the only way for them to pay 'their fair share of tax' is to put the prices up so we all pay it for them. That's the thing that a lot of people don't realise when screaming for taxes on companies, that in a competitive market the tax will be passed back to them in prices.
Nah. Tonight is a trial run so am going easy. I'll probably be pished after a couple of beers. If it goes well I'll be getting **** faced at the pub tomorrow.
No a fan of Guinness. I'll be battering into either San Miguel, Stella or Asahi. After that I'll sort out something to drink
Chapter 337385872 of Mick bumming the rich. Amazon declared low profits because they're investing to **** into infratructure (huge server farms, distributon centes, etc...) They will be so poor compared to Tescos in a decade's time.
Apart from the ****y spanish beer, you're on the right track. I've sunk 8 pints of Aspalls and working on a 6pack of stella, looking forward to working at 6.30am tomorrow.
Why the face palm? If they were making huge profits you'd be slamming them, if they are not making huge profits because they are pumping money into growth you are still slamming them.
It may surprise you to know that, in a civilised society, many people recognise the need to pay tax and don't spend forever whinging about it or trying to wriggle out of it. It's how we pay for schools, hospitals, roads, and rozzers, to name a few of life's necessities.
