Facebook Will Pay No Taxes, Get Huge Refund Instead

This is disgusting.  Capitalism blows.

It's Corporatism. That's the whole issue. People mistake a "hands-off" approach as something that will bring them that much closer to pure capitalism because of the haphazard rhetoric being thrown around all the time. In reality all it does is push us closer to falling off an economic cliff into some sort of corporate autocracy. We have a political system infested with profiteers in office with no intention to actually benefit their constituents. And we have a powerful oligarchical media structure that reinforces it by keeping the public either uninformed or misinformed.

History has unfortunately shown that capitalism evolves into corporatism.

Facebook should not have to pay any taxes as it gives to the world an essential service. If Facebook was made to pay taxes it might have to charge for the basic human right of "liking" 1980s breakfast cereals or telling everyone of your 19,375 friends that you are in a relationship but "it's complicated." That kind of service deserves a tax refund. After all their stock sucks so cut them a break, or maybe you don't want to know what your arch-rival in middle school is doing at each minute of the day.

I think every one of us who feels this is disgraceful should boycott facebook.
