Google, and of course virtually every multi-national corporation based in the US, does make use of many US government capabilities. I don't think it makes any sense to say:

>They don't consume any US government services either

However, I do think the corporate income tax issue is a subtle one.

It'd be interesting to compare what Larry and Sergey will pay in taxes versus government outlays for the things that have made Google possible.
