tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance on the scale of Amazon, Google, Starbucks and Facebook is imoral.

It's pretty obvious that these companies have been strategically set up in Ireland as a way of paying less tax.

You think it's acceptable that Amazon sold billions of pounds of items in the UK and pay virtually no tax, but still use our roads to facilitate those sales. They basically use our infrastructure for free.

Would Amazon let me use a few EC2 instances for nothing, by increasing the hosting cost of everyone one else by a few cents, to host my multi-million dollar website?
