Fuck that's depressing reading. I understand what US corporations get out of this but I'm still unsure why Ireland goes to this length to be a tax haven. What's in it for them?

They get to tax those trillions at an extremely low rate, right?

Technically Luxembourg. But Ireland is #2 by both GDP per capita and by mean income.
