We have had a thread on that some years ago, a US senator I think illustrating how many of the big players do not pay at all any net taxes - but even have net beenmfits from the state/tax payers.
Last year, there was this news:

This is not by rando m chan ce. Loopholes are wanted, like backdoors in Microisoft software. They are made sure for by lobbyism the industry invests into, and due to the interest of the vultures forming this political system, which is rotten from skin to bones. It's all plutocracy. Plus that big business is globalised, and international palyers now. It doe snot know national loyalties anymore. It's playground is the world, not just one country. The money evades in a 24 hours-cycle, revolving around the Earth in its race to escape being taxed.
And banks - play roulette already again as if never anything has happened, while having been bailed out just short time ago with billions. Nobody has learned anything. Political gangster nevertheless have the nerve to call that "economical recovering".
Like in Berlin, you have wonderful wide and long straight alleys in Washington. Like for Berlin I strongly recommend to prettify the lamppost alongside them by hanging politicians and lobbyists and their clever smart lawyers onto them. That would be a sight of great hope and renewal. When we run out of decoration, we can ask Wall Street and Frankfurt and Brussel for more any time. It seems it is in very rich supply.
