That’s not true at all. Your example is a special situation.

The top 10 corporate tax payers, including Pfizer, Apple and Intel made up 50% of all corporate tax revenue in Ireland, $6B.

Ireland has 4M people, that means the top 10 companies contribute $1500 for every man woman and child in Ireland. That’s a hell of a deal for the country.
