      The new economy is mostly based on not paying taxes while employing very few people directly and high paying jobs almost solely for coders.

      Pay taxes at appropriate levels; employ many people in stable good jobs; have stability in countries you operate. Pick two, Silicon Valley.

      A worthy goal! But not possible without taxes to pay for health care, education etc. that allow people to seek that.https://twitter.com/graiz/status/829690421286670338 …

      @GabiSchaffzin I read this as 'don't make money your purpose' I think he's encouraging students to find meaning in their work.

      Historically, this never *just* happened. What stability we had was via specific taxation & infrastructure policies.https://twitter.com/christopherburd/status/829721253040623616 …

      We've relied on capitalism to provide the underpinnings of stable community—good jobs for the many—but it doesn't do that any more.

      Fair; it's not just Apple. It's industry-wide. Yes, Apple paid a tiny bit of taxes—0.005% tax on its global profits. https://twitter.com/steriana/status/829724839392927744 …

      Fair enough; but a lot of those are regressive—and executive pay has also shifted out to much less taxed version.https://twitter.com/grimmelm/status/829738928504717312 …

      That’s just corporate income taxes. There are also sales, VAT, employment, etc. taxes, plus income taxes on distributed profits.

      It's a "race to the tax haven" problem that cannot be solved one country at a time, but US & EU have most leverage. https://twitter.com/Jacropolis/status/829743156799340545 …

      Yes. A lopsided economic structure—tech & finance driving the train— which is, inter alia, destabilizing the world.https://twitter.com/Steven_Strauss/status/829743461804961798 …

      Look, few leading companies in tech and finance are sitting on *enormous* amounts of cash to burn. You are not, but world is in a cash glut.

      There is so much cash hidden from taxes slushing around pointlessly around that, even after all this, interest rates cannot manage to rise.

      This is nuts, because a destabilized world is, and already has started to, rock us all, and won't spare the richer countries.
