Dutch tolerance

An ad of Heineken?
It doesn't count less the sells. I found it on Youtube.

Wanna safe tax money for your company? Open a post office box in Holland. You get the discount, we get the taxes and the work is done elsewere. Pollution is not our problem, haha.
No really, this might be a problem for the countries were the production is because the country where it happens doesn't benefit from the taxes. It's said that the Netherlands earn 9 billion Euro with the hosting.
This might look like the VOC mentality (the VOC made Holland rule the waves in the 1700's with their entrepreneurship, initiative and not so fair trade) of which the minister president said we don't have it anymore.
Well, we just do it differently, synthetic drugs are made in...exactly low cost countries, we do the sales and logistics. People trafficing, we got a fair share. The Government facilitates tax avoidance abroad. This will benefit enviromental pollution.
Maybe the commercial was right, are we really tolerant?
