> This is not about the US. Those of us who live in the rest of the world and pay taxes would also like companies like Google and Apple to pay tax in the countries they operate in. Hang on a minute. Maybe I am a little naive but I don't understand what all this hub bub is all about. Are you saying that people in country X (not the US) pay Corporation A real money but Corporation A legally does not pay taxes in country X? If that's the case, I think the fault is with your tax code than with corporation A. I am sorry but if I could get away with paying less in taxes, I absolutely would. There is no shame in trying to pay as little tax as one legally can.
