sure, as a private company I have a running budget based on the profits of my application. 30% of that revenue which I will never get will be going to another company which has a record of paying little to no taxes.

Now, how do you think the government makes up the difference in the tax loop holes? By raising taxes on companies like mine and restricting/regulating on how I structure my profits/income so that it can stay in business. So indirectly 30% off the revenue is affecting my tax situation with the federal government.

Again, 30% is on par with federal income tax.

I think the comment was saying that it's way worse than income tax. I don't think you're disagreeing.

Exactly; it's at least one order of magnitude worse than the income tax.

agree. I read your comment defensively. my fault. I was trying to imply that Google is acting like some government entity taxing your income.
