Thats because US corporate tax rates are ridiculous and so big corp plays games. Small corp of course are the real victims because they can't afford the army of lawyers and accountants to manage all the complex tax avoidance schemes so they get stuck with some of the highest corporate tax rates in the world.

I agree. That is part of the problem. But, I'd argue that even if US Corp rates were much lower (say 15%), Tim Cook, ever the optimizer, would still pursue the 1% rate they currently achieve.

I think rates should be lowered and and tax avoiders/dodgers should not be allowed to bid on govt contracts.
