it seems the basic argument expressed by those who support google's tax evasion/avoidance (and don't hit me with semantics, they are both the same it's just one is artificially within the law) is that seeing as the government can't come up with a decent law it is therefore the companies obligation to pay the least amount of tax because of course they are a company and need to put shareholders first. If that company, by doing this, destroys its own marketplace and shareholders (pension funds etc) then that is going against its own corporate goals. On a different note as they have a slogan "don't be evil" then it is them who have introduced morality to the argument. In a moral sense therefore they are also failing.
