As a European who posted in said article what always gets my blood boiling is the way in which (presumably average?) US commenters will defend things like a big multinational corporation not paying taxes in the market where they are selling their product. I don't really see this even as political: Sure say that if you are the top brass in a big multinational corp, but most of us aren't that and will never be. So if they paid even just a modest amount of taxes, us regular Joes would need to pay less, if assume unchanges levels of public spending. So what I don't get is the quasi-reflexive need to shill for corporations who make it harder for outsiders to rise up in the market. I know what they say about Americans seeing themselves not as poor, but as temporarily embarassed billionaires, but how are you going to have a cut at the american dream by shilling for quasi-monopolists?
