Any comments

Apples to oranges comparison. A business that takes advantage of a tax break is not breaking a law. A person who takes advantage of the welfare system and illegally obtains assistance, they are breaking the law and they are in fact mooching off the tax payer.

Regardless of what percentage it is to their income/wealth, corporations and the rich pay most of the taxes that are used to run this country. Corporations provide jobs and prosperity, what are the contributions to society from the truly lazy.....complaints on forum threads about evil corporations from their government supplied internet service (paid for by the taxpayer)?
