Yah, that's not what the thread said. Facebook is simply deducting a business expense, there was no carve out.

> I choose to call it what it is - a bribe.

Except there was no bribe, you just made something up.

> You called it theft, because thats your libertarian ideology poking through.

I did not call it theft and I'm not a libertarian.

> I said that taxes avoided is money denied to the public.

I said that there is no such concept as "taxes avoided". That not something that exists. You can't "avoid" taxes, either you need to pay them or you don't.

It's not a thing to be able to just "avoid" them.

You are arguing imaginary thing that never happened, and using concepts that don't exist to make your point.
