Why is it not immoral?
My first thought would be, it is. Only a naive reading of the law reaches the conclusion that "if it's legal, it must be moral."
And morality 101 is kind of, "with great power comes great responsibility."
And these big corporations have great power. Therefore, avoiding their responsibility to contribute to society via taxes, even if legal, is immoral.
I don't mean to imply this is black-and-white. I'm sure these corporations are smart enough to figure out a reasonable balance between paying as little as legally possible, versus as much as legally possible.
I'm curious to hear your logic why it is not immoral for a major corporation to attempt to pay as little tax as possible.
Especially when we consider that, via lobbying, corporations have a huge influence on the laws to which they are subject!
Not only do they have great latitude within the law, they also have significant influence in creating the laws which govern them!
More influence than the citizens of the U.S. where many of these corporations operate.
