In a convenient amount that somehow just always exceeds the profits it makes, in perpetuity?

How is it convenient that they lost a lot of money in the past and it pays it's employees in stock?

Yes, any company can pay 0 taxes by taking all the money that they made and setting it on fire, in perpetuity.

They could, but that's not what they're doing, they're moving the profit to a lower tax situation to avoid paying. Pure and simple.
