The "documentary" tries to put out the notion that multinational companies that pay little tax commit illegalities, when in fact they only use examples of legal ways you can pay little or no taxes.
The try to put up the notion that the bad companies don't want to pay the 30 or 35% tax rates in some countries and start doing business in countries with lower tax rates. How horrible of them to try and keep their money instead of giving it to corrupt governments and politicians.
They also make the argument that these companies don't contribute to economies where they are active and pay little taxes, when in fact they pay fabulous amounts of labor taxes, environment taxes, gas taxes, local taxes. They at least want to keep their profit, but no, the greedy government wants to take more than a third of that also. And what do the companies get from the governments, well they get bureaucracy,they get bad schooling systems, bad healthcare for their employees, bad roads. Well why would they ever want to not pay taxes with such a good exchange.
The truth is we all could do with smaller taxes. Everyone is better off with just managing their own money, instead of "big brother" hoarding it and using it for the "greater good".
