IRS sues Facebook for $9B, says company offshored profits to Ireland


Recommended Posts

had we had a realistic corporate tax structure that shift would not have been needed.  the IRS will lose-  they are there with their hands out looking at Facebook as it exists today not the way it was in 2010.   Had this shift occurred after facebook was a huge success they might have a point.
