> giant multinational corporations can pay effectively zero taxes That's not even remotely true. They may have zero or negative rate for some taxes, most often corporate income tax, but that's to be expected, when you have a rate of 35%(!). There are many other kinds of taxes, though, and the effective rate for any given corporation, or any sector, no matter how you slice the economy, is not going to be zero.
