I’ve written quite a bit on this here before.
This was basically a EU tax grab for amounts they weren’t due. The dumbass lefties in Ireland just saw free billions to piss up the wall.
In reality, more tax should have been paid in the US and earlier. Similarly, they should have paid more in China. But the meme that they didn’t pay tax isn’t true either. After Trump’s tax reforms (a very good move, something he was given zero credit for pushing), a lot of tax has been brought home.
The people who claim to care on the left were trying to take tax money from poorer people living in many US cities. Inner city poverty was one of the issues that the BLM spoke about, but the same people here with black avatars were truing to take money from these people.
In terms of Ireland, the other meme that large corporations don’t pay enough tax is a complete fallacy.
