Google's employees and founders have been unflinchingly supportive of Democrat candidates and policies. Those candidates and policies generally favor higher tax rates and oppose tax cuts "for the rich", and favor greater government spending on social programs. But now they're going out of their way to launder their money to avoid those same taxes.

Lovely.
