If you have the friends that companies like Google do, then I don't think you have any problems with representation.

Taxation without representation has not been an issue in America since 1776. Unless you're referring to multinationals lacking direct representation in foreign legislatures. At which point, it's fair to both consider that as a reasonable consequence of choosing to engage in business in other national jurisdictions, and to admit they undoubtedly have indirect representation.
