Yes, yes they can, this is what you are too stupid to understand.
The government can indeed prop up the economy for a short period of time until the economy grows enough to sustain itself.

But it takes the guts to actually invest with borrowed money, and also to stop that money being syphoned off by parasticic companies who don't pay taxes and banks who jsut sit on it. It actually has to go into peoples pockets, not into company balance sheets.

But I don't see any government being brave enough to take on the big tax dodgers,
Surely they employ too many people to just Fuck them off?

That's the stupid attitude that is causing the problems.
All companies will adjust to whatever regulatory regime you forece them into, they won't leave, they won't move, they will stay and make a profit. It might not be as much profit as before, but it's still a profit.

No need to call me stupid, I'm just curious.
