Nothing is stopping Google from being an international company headquartered in France. France has a lot of social welfare rules that dictate a safety net for it’s own citizens such that every company in their realm must adhere to if they want to benefit from everything France has to offer.

America has a lot to offer, and part of the tax is you must support American workers first.

If India and China is the better place to work, better salaries, better consumer market, better infrastructure, better freedoms, better everything - feel free to operate from those places and respect the offerings of the people of that country, and please, put them first.

But don’t take advantage of the offerings of a place like Germany, while taking advantage of the lack of worker rights in China, while paying taxes in the Caribbean. This is taking advantage of every loophole imaginable.

Believe me, this is precisely what has been happening, and now it's only going to be accelerated. You'll get your wish sooner than you expected.
