Editorializing titles like this is against HN's guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). When accounts do this, they eventually lose submission privileges. If you'd read the guidelines and follow them when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

(Submitted title was 'Don't be taxpayer – Google Alphabet made $19.2B in revenue in Bermuda'.)

Also because the original title is a smug pun on “the wealth of nations”, Adam Smith’s essay that (neo)liberists trump around like Mao’s Red Book... Smith argued that letting capitalism loose would benefit us all - the wealth in his title - yet there seems to be quite a bit of it missing ;)

Are you suggesting that capitalism has not benefitted us all?

Please don't do generic ideological arguments on HN. There's nothing new in them.

Edit: also, could you stop posting unsubstantive comments generally?
