Why don't we just roll in and close them up. If you don't pay taxes here you don't do business here.

Both backwards. This is great news, it means their shareholder's have
more wealth; and profits only get taxed once, at the personal level, not twice as usual.

Wrong, the courts have said that the company is an entity so it gets taxed, no different than a large cash gift gets taxed by the one receiving it even though the giver was taxed to earn it

Right, but that is not the context here. These companies are
professionally managed and for sure filed an IRS tax return -- as you say,
by law they had too.
Edit: You could argue the Cost to Hedge vs. Realized Tax burdens; but,
again, I have to think those C-levels understand >Game Theory< and
didn't end up spending more to not pay tax than the cost of actually
paying tax. Because then they would be dumb.

I don't mind them not paying taxes...IF...and this is the kicker...the CEO and upper management make no more than 20X what the average employee does. If any of them make more...I say it doesn't matter what the tax loopholes are...tax that company at the standard rate with no deductions.
Then ensure that ALL income no matter from what source is taxed as per if it were earned on as a job...if they make more than 20X more than the average employee.
(In truth, I might even put a BIGGER tax penalty than what exists on them for making over 20X average employee pay).
One of the biggest problems that I see in encouraging CEO's and presidents to raise the worker pay is that there is a rising divide between what they make, and the workers they employ make.
Force penalties on them for that...and I bet you'd suddenly start seeing employees and workers make more money.

Yeah, I did this topic already. The consensus was "they (the corporate executives and ceos) would figure out a loophole or other way to ignore/get around it". Change their workforce into "independent contractors", use holding companies, so on.
This is probably (5)-behavior.
No business pays taxes. They collect taxes - from their customers.
This is why when business taxes go up, prices go up.
It depends entirely on the market and the company's margin. Companies operating on low margins this is true. Companies operating on higher margins are likely to eat the costs to prevent people from going to a competitor or stop buying their product.
