86. Then That's A False Dichotomy
Because there is no Country v. Company comparison. If there were, a smart strategic business decision, and one that maintains a sense of fiduciary duty would be to not pay the corporate taxes.

So, apparently there is no country v. company dichotomy! It's completely false and when 3M's CEO said that, he should have known that it was already a false comparison.

And, i don't see how it's debatable as to whether fiduciary duty is served by having a long term focus that will benefit stakeholders well into the future. That's clearly serving the fiduciary responsibility of coporate office holders.
