>(companies with access to top lawyers pay less, small companies pay more). That is a problem of the law being easier to circumvent if you've got resources to do so. From abusing how complicated the tax code is, to actively lobbying to pass laws that make it easy for you to do so. Simplifying the tax code, removing loopholes is one step, but that would require a total rewrite of it, which is a long process. Corporate income tax is necessary in our society. Corporations use government built infrastructure, whether it is roads, copper cables, etc. They use government services and plethora of government funded things. It is absolutely normal they contribute back to society. Sadly, in an increasingly globalized world, it is much easier for a company to hide its profits in a fiscal paradise.
