> One people finding this trick is ok, but big companies being able to buy these tricks is another scale.

Maybe using these tricks was what actually enabled these "one people" to grow into big companies? I don't think it's as simple as "Small companies all pay their taxes, only big companies cheat because the system is unfair".

Imho there's plenty of opportunities to cheat without ever being discovered as a cheater, the vast majority of people simply don't notice them as such or when they do refuse to abuse them, out of a moral obligation to society.

That last part isn't the same for everybody. I dunno which election it was, but I think it was the GOP who ran on this whole "Maker" theme where they pretended people are all living in isolation and nobody uses public infrastructure for any of their success. That pretty much summed up the whole mindset behind "not paying taxes" pretty aptly.

Oh, sorry, I'm not saying it's _good_ that this is the case, just that you'd be surprised by the number of small companies pulling this kind of shit too.

Yes, we were also tempted (suggested) to do the same at some point in our history. Perhaps as suggested elsewhere in this thread, some startup will be able to create an offer to easily outsource some revenues. That will certainly declare the end of the game.

All companies are supposedly equal in doing business, but some manage to compete better than others. Taxes are just another area of competition.

Competition in business is beneficial to society as a whole, by providing better products and services. Competition in tax avoidance has no plausible benefit. It's spending resources to solve an entirely artificial problem. If the problem was removed then the resources could instead be spent on something useful to everybody.
