That will be our downfall though. It became less about providing value to customers and more about providing value to shareholders (even foreign ones). It’s OK to screw everyone (including and especially your countrymen) if you make enough doing it. Not paying taxes is seen as a pro move, not as parasitic.
This is the ultimate synthesis of the current American model; it will make us weaker and weaker as a people until we are defeated from within, with our enemies never firing a shot.
