The criticism here is that google's leaders and employees have explicitly advocated on behalf of and contributed to leftist causes, which promote the view that taxation should be greatly increased to decrease inequality, pay for government programs, or myriad other reasons. When Trump was elected, they had company-wide meetings concerning the sad state of the country, where melancholy leftists could vent their unhappiness (no such reaction greeted Obama's election). James Damore was harassed and eventually fired when he accepted the (fake) invitation to challenge "Social Justice" orthodoxy concerning gender. They didn't address his evidence, but rather went after his livelihood.

My point being: they are one of the richest companies in the world, committed to a leftist worldview. The fact that they do everything they can to funnel money away from the poor, downtrodden, socioeconomically-disadvantaged, marginalized, etc., which they so loudly proclaim "need our help!"---the word hypocrisy doesn't even cut it.

There's absolutely nothing hypocritical about it. The progressive viewpoint is that taxes should be higher, not that people should just be willingly donating way more money to the government.

This is not a will issue. It's not that against their will they're taxed. It's that they've successfully managed not to pay, contravening the supposed stance of the company.

Thus the hipocrisy.

Right, taxes should be higher on everyone else.
