Well, no-one has yet managed to cheat death but there sure are plenty of commercial giants that rort the tax systems of the world.Currently one particular bad fruit is being quizzed by the US Senate as to how they could earn $22 billion through an Irish subsidiary, yet paid only $10 million in taxes.
They're certainly not alone in this flagrant abuse of their corporate power. However, they are the most valuable company in the world and if you were looking for a reason to loathe them, well . . . personally, I'm well beyond the loathing stage.
