I've heard the "change the law argument" a lot but there is a problem. The politicians are bought and paid for, people like the Koch brothers write the laws. Or their lobbyists do. So the laws are rigged in favor of corporations. Didn't use to be like this but it is now, it's crazy how skewed things are for big money.
"Change the law" assumes that the politicians are working for all of us. They aren't.
The tech companies benefit hugely from being based here. If you don't believe that then please recreate Silicon Valley in another country and show me how well that works (spoiler, been tried, didn't work). So long as they benefit from being based here they should pay their taxes.
