> If these companies paid their fair share of taxes and retributed their employees fairly, there would be no reason to hate on them. So, it seems like the problem is not the company or the product, but the legal structure around them. Individuals are much better than governments at generating profits for themselves but, of course, need to be held accountable and contribute to the economy.
I agree with this and would recommend people read David Dayen's "Monopolized". The only caveat with your statement would be that this chart displays a global mix of organizations. What you've said is applicable everywhere yet more so in the US where corporate money counts more than individual votes which makes it very difficult for the legal and financial structure to change to benefit the general populace.
