And it's what most companies "get away with". Not what is legally achieved. Frankly, if these companies are not responsibly paying income tax at 30% then they should be heavily fined and or embargoed (If a company continues it's shady business). Operating a company with the people means supporting the people as well. It's a symbiotic not a parasitic relationship that is required.
I don't disagree at all with your comments that the laws have to change or revert to what they were previously. Capitol Hill is the final goal, but the financial sector is currently in control. Over the last decade (perhaps longer) the financial lobbyists have been pulling for de-regulation. These parasitic actions must be dealt with firmly, and with a finality that will keep other companies from cheating the people.

These companies are paying precisely what they are obligated to pay, they aren't getting away with anything, unless of course your argument is that the IRS isn't auditing these companies. There are many ways to operate a company so a to reduce your tax burden, just as individuals can reduce their tax burden, there's nothing wrong with the fact that these companies have utilized those available options. That you can't comprehend these options is your issue.
