This is what happens when you combine greed with lack of regulation. Google should be split into separate independent companies. When company is above the law and too big to fail it means we failed to address it. Write to your local representative and ask them to raise this problem.


Just want to add, this is not capitalism if you have one rule for big guys and one rule for small shops. Small companies cannot afford creative accounting which then finances an army of lawyers and grease for politicians. If a small company pays e.g. 30% of tax it is unacceptable that big boys can wiggle out if it through offshore contraptions. If a company suddenly is in position to game the system and obtain unfair competitive advantage it is when it should be split. Every business should have equal chances and we let companies like Google, Facebook or Amazon abuse their position. It's time to stop it. They need to be split and pay the right tax.
