Of course they do. They vote out the politicians that allow multi-billion dollar companies to avoid their tax obligations and they vote in ones that don't.

Americans have utterly forgotten they are in charge of their country.

You're evading his point. You can vote out those politicians, but not giving breaks to companies isn't the only effect that will have; the other effect is that companies will stop moving into your state. Voters on message boards might be motivated by your notions of fairness, but real voters are motivated by jobs.
