The problem is exactly taxes and tax laws. These founders live in a society where if you structure your company one way, you pay 21% in corporate tax, and if you structure it another way you pay 0%, and both are legal - which one do you think they will choose? We need to make profit shifting illegal, but it currently isn't. We can't count on founders being 'ethical' enough to not play the game optimally, we need to change the rules of the game, so optimal play from them isn't bad for the rest of us.

In the case of Apple it's not really accurate to say they paid 0%. Instead, their taxes on overseas sales were deferred until they were repatriated into the US. Upon repatriation they paid $38 billion in taxes on $252 billion of income, or a tax rate of 15%.

If you think the founders have an unfair advantage, why don’t you go ahead, become one and lead by example?

The world needs more founders anyway. They are the ones who created the amazing wealth we are enjoying right now, not the politicians, bureaucrats, regulators or commissioners.
