I'm not sure that that is entirely true. Most companies make a healthy profit anyway..it is just corporate greed.

The reasoning behind not closing the loopholes is the fear that these companies would relocate to somewhere that they could pay less tax...but I am sure that I read somewhere( I read a lot of stuff in online newspapers) that France is taking action against Google and slapping a I million Euro tax bill on them...so if they can do it why can't we?
