only because governments allow them to avoid tax, legally and illegally...this is why it needs international agreement to close these tax loopholes and tax havens...this is also a reason why we must not become too enslaved to the big corporations and why vat must go to help build small businesses....we should have allowed banks to fold and break up intoloads fo smaller banks....thus creating competition and better personalised service. it would have also shown these crooks they are liable and they are accountable

ps we must also stop publicly funding supposedly privatised services...the trains is aperfect example....were basically buying rich people a 60 billion train set and theyre creaming all the profits and NO ONE HAS ACTUALLY POINTED THIS OUT? ITS INSANE
