I don't mean about the legality, I mean like, how is morally ok? they make more money than anything on the planet and they pay less tax than a single mum hooking for meth

bullshit if it's an incentive thing too, if they had to pay tax as if they weren't doing tax gymnastics they'd still make more money than anyone and have higher profits and even more incentive to be better

low taxes make a lazy company lazier

no. 80% from 100 million to 1 billion, and 100% for a billion +. also applies to personal income taxes and capital gains.

also, we freeze all politicians' assets over 100k/yr as long as they're in office.
