Europe plans special tax for Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon

"In general we think competition is a good thing. So why isn't competition in tax regimes a good thing?"

Because competition drives efficiency, by inefficient companies being liquidated or taken over. That's not a good plan for countries. 'Sorry, you aren't being very efficient, so Germany is going to take your country over' wouldn't go down well more or less anywhere.

And you know that but are being deliberately dense. Stop it.
