I find it amusing that when espousing a fair system that treats everyone the same, I get called a bigot!
The government functions at our request. We pay them a certain wage (taxes). THEY work for us. If they cannot budget and fail at fiscal responsibility, it is not our responsibility to cover their poor fiscal efforts with more of our money.

Using complex schemes to shift U.S. revenue overseas, Microsoft was able to avoid paying taxes on $21 billion in revenue between 2009 and 2011, amounting to about half its total U.S. sales, according to the subcommittee report. The company avoided paying $4.5 billion in taxes, or about $4 million per day, during that time, according to the report.
Using similar schemes, Apple avoided taxes on $34.5 billion between 2009 and 2011, and Google has dodged taxes on $24 billion.
