The goal of any business owner is to make as much money as possible. It's got nothing to do with greed.

And the goal of any investor (i.e. partial business owner) is to invest in companies that make money, because that's how they get rewarded for their investment.

Well, it is one of the 7 deadly sins.  I'd say it's not great.

Yep.
Fuck the customer as much as you can without driving them away, in service of your shareholders.  Good summary, gents.

  What they're really doing is evading the US tax system, one of the less friendly ones in the world to businesses.  
I'll let our economy/stock market know that its obscene gains since the 70s shouldn't have happened.  

Honestly, which is it?
Their breakneck avoidance to pay taxes/find-exploit loopholes has led to their success OR
They paid their unfriendly taxes all these years and still produced epic/unprecedented gains/success?!?

I wouldn't mind having them pay what I feel is their fair share of taxes, but that's just like my opinion, Man!

unfortunately, I'm not in charge of taxes and the folks that are, seem to think the corps are payin their fair share

Some people are not cut out to own businesses. I can tell who they are.
