But here’s something I read not long ago in The Guardian. Chevron USA sent Chevron Canada its tax operations because Canada receives lower taxes from oil companies than most other countries. In fact, Chevron Canada pays Nigeria and Indonesia’s taxes on behalf of its mother ship, Chevron USA. Why? Maybe because Chevron Canada does exactly as Mother Chevron demands. So, if Nigeria and Indonesia get their tax payments, why don’t the Ecuadorians get their damage award, when every court in Ecuador issued and upheld a decision that Chevron wanted litigated in Ecuador? Chevron got their court but lost the decision.
