The correct response to the Starbucks tax scam is to tax transactions between different parts of a business, when that money goes offshore.
It is not to say "we will charge you whatever the fuck we like"
Starbucks, and indeed any business has a right to expect that its tax liabilities will be predictable and a legal duty to minimise those liabilities for its shareholders.
