Is it a race to the bottom though?

I mean, a race to the bottom in the normal sense is cutting taxes or spending money on attracting these companies. We help these companies evade other countries' taxes, not our own.

Also, officially, the entities involved in the tax evasion are not related to the entities that actually employ people. Would Google move it european customer support offices without this tax deal? Theoretically, they could take advantage of it without employing anyone in ireland.

It's all horribly ambiguous. I've never really understood how it works.
