Google and other big tech companies that were doing this shady accounting stuff are sitting on the money. If they had paid taxes on it, they would just be sitting on less money and we would have a little bit more money for public programs. Public programs that are run by people that stop at Starbucks some mornings.

Google employees pay the taxes Google shareholders pay the taxes Google customers pay taxes

Wonder where is all that tax money going to? Just curious?

Or maybe you could siphon just a teeny little bit from your military-industrial complex.
It isn't an either-or situation. Everybody should pay their taxes and we (government) should spend the money carefully.
