BP and Facebook aren't paying their share of taxes in the USA, do you think De Beers is going to do so in Sierra Leone?

Do you have any evidence that thy aren't?

Or do you just make things up?

BP Actually get tax credits, as does Amazon. So they pay negative taxes.

And how, pray tell, do the incentives of a British oil company in another part of the world automagically imply the guilt of an African mining company in SL?

Or is guilt by association the new thing these days?

Show me where De Beers is not paying what the government of SL requires them to pay.
