A company based in the country of operation is incentivized for that country to be financially successful. A foreign government isn't, unless it's to their advantage. I'm not afraid of foreign interference, but I think there's aligned goals in supporting a company in your own country. I agree influence could happen both in and out of the countries, and all sides of the political spectrum

Seems like you should be able to test this theory in the real world by observing how corporations approach paying taxes

We are comparing foreign government to a domestic corporation

What part of my reply to you gave you the impression I wasn't able to read your comment?

You're fundamentally wrong about the nature of one of the things you're comparing. Now that I've explained the subtext of my comment do you have anything to say to that point?
