August, in your country olike in mine and almost all Western countries, companies have to pay taxes. Working around these is criminal. It is njot double taxation, your logic is flawed there. Not values get taxated, but people profiting from them (that's why a piec eof land that has no owner does not produce any tax income for the state although it has a value). The company produces an income, and gets taxated for it. Employees get wages, and pay taxes on that wages. Shareholders getting an income from their shares, pay taxes on that income.

Gimpy, Steve, the issue here is not groups of tax payers and the share of taxes they pay, but individual offenders weaseling past their obligation to pay taxes. And especially when a big player not only pays hilariously low taxes of 1%, or none, but even gets tax returns from the IRS exceeding these payed or not-payed taxes, it should become evident what the problem is.
