I'd say they're worthless, and they left, taking $535,000,000 of government money with them.

What the CEO seems to be doing is telling them the truth, as he sees it, sitting from behind his desk where he sees all the numbers and pays all of the bills. He listed all of the taxes. Who's to say what's a "sustainable tax" for his business; him or you? (I love that "sustainable" euphemism, too, if that's not a moving target, nothing is.) I suppose you'd rather tell him what the truth is for his company?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you're one of the ones that who whines about big, impersonal corporations stealing and gouging (and pouring money into political campaigns, though that is a separate issue); and now you're whining about a real-life flesh-and-blood human that built a business who is indeed complaining about the potentiality of paying more taxes (and discussing what may reasonably result). Okay, so what's left? Shall we all go to work for minnows and giraffes, or just look to mother earth and messiah obama to sustain us?
