I'm an accountant. My clients pay very little tax. If the big money making companies don't pay taxes, why should they?

Because they can't afford to exploit the loopholes, duh!

In all seriousness is not that hard to have untaxed income.For almost five years now I've had between 15k-35k of untaxed income every year by flipping cars and not register the car to my name, I think people just need to make more investments that are dealt mostly in cash.

While I get where you are coming from, there is a huge difference in your version of untaxed income versus these large corporations.

These large corporations are utilizing tax loopholes but (generally) are still following the laws. Your cash dealings are still technically taxable income, you are just lying on your taxes and choosing to not report this income.
