Siphoning profits to a tax haven is also not illegal. Them not paying taxes is screwing over the government. It's a decision of either screwing over the business or screwing over public services and choosing the former isn't a good idea when they pay for our salaries ... 

These companies I'm defending are passing what they owe to us, our salaries. They do not have to stop avoiding taxation. You make up lost money by cutting costs, it's not that hard but Greece just couldn't do that before getting another bailout ...

It's not legal either as it's a means to not pay taxes which is illegal, it's a loophole and one that many Countries are closing, that salary the company is paying you means little when it's going to be used to pay up for what they owe which increases by the month. As an example you're making them $20 and from that you get $2, they keep $15 and pay $3 tax when they're meant to pay $5, over time what they owe will outweigh what you and anyone else is paid and when the country has to make up the cost that salary you're getting will amount to little just look at Greece.

They have to stop companies avoiding Tax for your sake, do you know what cuts mean to make up costs? It impacts your daily life and often cuts never make up what's owed because cuts may stop an expense going out but when money is being leaked out the system it doesn't remedy the problem which means you yourself will have to pay higher taxes and charges in the end while even after the cuts have been made regardless.
