You're not mad at the person who wrote the tax code?

Taxes are pretty arbitrary. Unless you intend to enforce the spirit rather than the letter of the law you're always going to be playing cat and mouse games. People who generate money want to keep it and people who give away money want to take it from people who have money. One will ALWAYS be a step ahead of the other.

If you enforce the spirit of the law people call foul and stop playing the game with you.

Don't get mad at the mice, just build better mouse traps.

"Don't hate the player; hate the game" is the cheaters motto.

I've always found it weird how so many folks will shout at the top of their lungs how good it is to not have any integrity.

It depends on whether it's more moral to keep a department of 5000 people employed (all paying income taxes) while avoiding import taxes or scrap the whole department because taxes make the department unprofitable.
A business will never choose to keep a department open at a loss so it can "do it's part" in paying taxes.
In this case the car manufacturer would just choose to not sell that make and model in the states and a whole department has no reason to exist
