      ‘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.

      You seem to think that if something is legal it's therefore moral? Do you think slavery was moral before it was made illegal? Or lots of other (obviously immoral) things that used to be legal?

      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.”

      It finally clicked for me that some people seem to believe that there is a difference between a company’s legal minimum tax obligation and a company’s moral minimum tax obligation. I’d be fascinated to see someone take a stab at writing a framework for calculating the latter. https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1139188173131591685 …

      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 hear that. What I'm wondering is that if people are going to judge companies by a moral standard for taxes (above and beyond legal minimum), how would they go about designing a framework for determining what's moral and what isn't?

      Great question! But I've got to disappear to an early dinner. I guess my intuition is: individual ethics is fantastically difficult and complicated; it seems likely the same for a type of collective ethics applicable to companies. I'd happily read a good book on it...
