Society has decided that companies should pay a corporate tax rates of 20% (UK), 35% (US), etc on profits.

Finally governments have noticed that these companies are shuffling money around (between countries normally) and are not paying anywhere close to those rates.

It's very sad that these companies do have a slim chance of fighting this kind of reform. Ideally they should just pull their heads in and concentrate on building wealth under a new slightly more sensible tax regime.

A slim chance? More than likely, unfortunately, they have an exceptional chance of fighting this kind of reform. I don't get a particular sentiment of anti-corporate perspective from either major party in either the US or UK.
