‘Loophole’ is such great branding. Loopholes don’t exist - there are only ‘laws.’ Flawed laws are rebranded as loopholes. Similar to pharma’s invention of ‘side effects.’ There‘s no such thing as a side effect - there are only effects. Bad effects are rebranded as side effects.

That’s an unfair leap, and I’m surprised you made it. Not everything that is immoral is illegal, and not everything that is illegal is immoral. What I’m saying is that when it comes to taxes, I struggle to clearly define “moral” in a way other than “legal.”

I think I probably misinterpreted your original tweet as implying that you thought there is no difference. Glad to hear that's not the case, and sorry for the misinterpretation.

Granted that there often is a difference between what's moral and what's legal, it seems quite reasonable that many people's morality suggests companies should pay more than the legal minimum.

I think the framework is you take take whatever their legal tax liability is and subtract that from zero, the moral tax liability.
