This is disgusting. Literally stealing from the pockets of the american people. It doesnt matter that its technically legal. This news should bring outrage.

Well... legal where?

The tax avoidance strategy of choice, the Irish Sandwich, is perfectly legal in Ireland and the Irish government actively invites companies to use it. They take taxes away from EU countries and collect generous subsidies from those same countries, double-dipping. Focus your ire there, or Luxembourg, or any of the other countries who have made a whole industry out of it.

"Literally stealing ... technically legal".

I think at least one of those four words must be incorrect or poorly chosen.
