Oh, okay, I get you. Lesser taxation is just removal of the paperwork, from my perspective. But I’m not sure exactly what you mean by lesser taxation.

If Company X maxes xidgets, and is taxed at 5% because it’s an xidget company, and Company Y makes yidgets, and is taxed at 8% because it is a yidget company, then Company X is receiving an indirect subsidy.

I just see it as an unfair tax cut rather than an indirect subsidy. Finding parity in the current tax system is difficult as favored companies and technologies will win out with the more clout they hold on the government hill. No system is infallible and it will always be a work in progress. In this case we both will simply just call it as we see it and debate the justice of it all in the big picture. Though I did enjoy debating the nuances with you.
