What a naive view, frankly. Yes, it's probably perfectly legal for them (and others) to pay single-digit taxes. And they can do so because they can 1) afford expensive lawyers and tax advisors, and 2) lobby congress to protect them indefinitely.

It's unfair, plain and simple. Stop pretending it's right only because it's legal.

I think his point is that some set of arbitrary morals don't stop behavior when filing taxes, laws do.
