Making the world worse so you can benefit is *evil*. It's evil when individuals do it, and it's evil when corporations do it.

It doesn't matter that a certain choice is better for the corporation. It's still immoral for the corporation to harm people.



This weekend I drove to the beach when I could have just sat in my house all day. I personally benefitted by receiving a relaxing afternoon at the expense of creating extra pollution for everyone else on the planet to deal with. By your definition that is evil and therefore we are all evil.


This is not comparable to crippling the efficiency of the US tax system for hundreds of millions of people in order to fluff corporate profits.


Look back at your previous comment:

>Making the world worse so you can benefit is evil. It's evil when individuals do it, and it's evil when corporations do it.

You are simultaneously arguing against nuance in one comment and then for it in the next.
