I don't want to start a political debate but I think a decent argument could be made that companies should not pay any taxes outside of direct use taxes for infrastructure and so forth. Providing jobs and products people want is already quite the social contract contribution. At the very least a tax code that people can actually understand would be a decent start. I think it's pretty silly to point your finger at other countries for making "shady deals" with companies. Pretty much every nation does it, that's one of the reasons why tax codes are so complicated in the first place.
