So Mark Zuckerberg is now a Centi Billionaire.

Too much or should people be allowed to make as much money as they can within the realms of the law?

Assuming as you say its within the law and he pays what ever taxes are due I don't see a problem. Often these people give a lot to charity too

Always look at the conditions that, people who work for these people, work under. Amazon case in point, horrendous stories from there. All for making lots of money, but look after those that help you get rich.

I would suggest that it is virtually impossible to become that rich without breaking some rules along the way.

Generally going to be some dodgy accounting and flouting of employment laws in just about back story...

Then once you are big enough, and important enough to the economy/government, along comes corruption. Even if it is "legal" preferential terms for your tax, to encourage you to open business in Ireland for example.

Maybe the rules should be stricter. Using Amazon as an example, they are great at destroying the high street, but they don’t get charged anywhere near the business rates and Corporation Tax that traditional businesses have to live with. Maybe levelling the playing field would help. Possibly even considering breaking Amazon up as it is having too much of an influence on society. It has happenned before with large monopolistic businesses.

You're really just going to pretend that everyone has the opportunity to do a job they like? No one is forced to do crappy jobs because they need the money?

Something to do with processing the sales through Luxembourg helps them avoid tax. About time that was stopped

It's an insidious lie. You too could be this rich if you worked hard enough!

(It ignores the fact that many of the super rich become that way from inheritance/connections/laws that favour them. They don't have to work at all.)

It's within the law for these multi-billion pound companies to pay almost no corp tax in the UK. A small struggling business pays more corp tax than Amazon.

Just because a company is operating within the law doesn't mean it's in the right.

Not restricted to the uk but as I say if they work within the law I don't have a problem. If the laws are too weak or do not protect people enough that needs to be changed in law and enforced

And do you think the laws are good enough and enforced enough in the UK?

I'm not an expert or have any real deep knowledge of the laws so can't help you. If they turn out to be not fit for purpose I hope that is addressed

Here's an example for you. In the UK, Google UK Ltd posted revenue of £1.6bn for the year to 30 June 2019. They paid corporation tax of £44.3m. Corporation tax for that year was 19%. They paid under 3%. Does that seem right or fair?

No it does not and I have said so in the past. What makes you think I am ok with it. I said they need to work within the law

I was just showing you an example since you seemed unsure of details.

I am unsure of employment and tax laws for sure. If you look I never once said the laws are good in fact I said if they allow such actions they should be changed. If the people who own these companies work within the law I have no problem as they are working to the rules

I just asked your opinion and provided facts.

Yes though not sure why when I had already said they need to work in the law. Assuming your example is within the law then the law is in need of examination"

Because you seemed unsure of detail. As I said above.

I think we may be trapped in an infinite loop here. It could lead to an argument. So I'll stop replying to this. No offence meant.

"If they operate within the law I don't have a problem with it. I have more of a problem with places that have rubbish laws or don't enforce them. It's true some are born into it but some do work very hard and take big risks on their journey

Do we have rubbish laws in this area? Do we enforce our laws? I'm curious what you think.

Well your correct I am unsure of law details. it was a general point of people staying within the rules and getting rich which I find ok. Yes probably in a loop but no offense taken
