Re: Not really Amazon's fault

"I don't agree with that response. We shouldn't have to live in a society where it's okay for companies to act as immoral as they wish, and use their wealth and international status to follow tax loopholes unless there are airtight tax rules to stop them. It may be "legal", but they're not faultless."

Companies are also required to comply with laws to act in their shareholders best interests.

Should companies meet the letter (but maybe not the spirit) of tax laws and act in their shareholders interests or pay their "moral obligation" while acting outside their shareholders best financial interests?

If governments provide lax tax requirements but "clear" company guidance, should they address their failings rather than just complain?
