Comment on US blocks crackdown on tax avoidance by net firms like Google and Amazonparent

Yes, Google has to pay an army of both lawyers and accountants to take care of all the crazy complex tax scheme internationally. I know several people who run startups with such schemes and they give 1% of their revenue to their accountant. If we got rid of the IRS and equivalent and just used a flat tax on the total amount of revenue, well, let's say the CPA industry would take a plunge and regular folks and companies like Google would save billions.
