Oops, Maybe Government is Tyrannical	17.5.2013	American Spectator
Less than two weeks ago President Obama stood in front of graduates from The Ohio State University and told them to reject those who warn of government tyranny. “Unfortunately, you’ve grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that’s at the root of all our problems,” he said. To young, idealistic people his words likely sounded insightful — until last week. That’s when it became officially impossible to deny that the government abuses its power for political gain. Practically overnight people labeled conspiracy theorists by the elite were proven prescient interpreters of how big government operates when news broke last Friday that the Internal Revenue Service targeted conservative groups for special scrutiny in their tax-exempt applications. The media pile-on against the administration is so ferocious Fox News could run live feeds from its competitors without losing a beat. It should be so because the ...

Google chairman Eric Schmidt defends tax avoidance policies	22.4.2013	The Guardian -- Front Page
Search engine is accused of treating tax as 'voluntary' after paying just £6m in UK corporation tax Google's chairman, Eric Schmidt, has defended the search engine's tax avoidance policies, saying "we fully comply with the law" after paying just £6m in corporation tax in the UK. Schmidt's comments drew a scathing response from a member of the parliamentary public accounts committee (PAC), who accused the company of treating tax payments as a "voluntary act". In an interview with the BBC, Schmidt defended the fact that Google paid corporation tax of £6m in 2011 despite recording annual revenues of £2.5bn in Britain. He said: "You're describing the way taxes work globally. And the fact of the matter is these are the way taxes are done globally. The same is true for British firms operating in the US, for example."
