But our leaders aren't incentivized to do it, because our leaders are incentivized only by the very corporations in question.

As in, the corporations, through lobbying, quite literally write the legislation, not the people we actually elect to office.

So uprooting corporate tax info transparency rules is something that will never come to pass until other existing systems are demolished, but how do you get the legislators to legislate against their own self-interest?

I just read a story about how in the 1950s some citizens in Appalachia couldn't get their representatives to give a damn about fixing the run-down single bridge to their small isolated town far away from the big cities of importance.

So what they did was to ask the Soviet Union's representative office in the United States to sponsor their bridge repair, and they let all the newspapers know about it.

Sooner than you could blink, the state politicians reversed course and ponied up the $ for the bridge.

Maybe sometimes what you need is your enemies to be shown to be exploiting your weaknesses so that someone cares enough to fix it.
