And that's why both Obama (and Democrats, but not in this article) and the Republicans in the article talked about reforming the tax code. But the more important point was that these corporations are definitely evading the spirit of our current (outdated) laws, and we need to close this loophole sooner rather than later (i.e. after the years it will likely take to fix our tax system). To draw a programmer analogy, we should refactor the laws, but this is a critical bug fix. We can't stop supporting the old code just because the new code might fix it.
