> Are you saying that Apple or Google don't operate in Spain or France?
While technically they do have offices in Spain and France, they are mainly service offices. The critical operations of Google are carried out in the United States, and to a (far) lesser extent, Canada, Japan, and various other places.
> What the heck has to do your claim of Spain or France being corrupt with Apple or Google declaring losses with record revenues?
It's called expenditure, the vast majority of the wealth Apple and Google generate involves spending a lot of the wealth they made in the past. This is explicitly protected by the tax codes of basically any nation worth doing business in.
Spain, for example, has a rather meh economy, meanwhile the state is funneling public funds into things like a concentrated solar plant which will probably never generate more revenue than expenditure. If not corrupt, then that is at least decadent.

I recommend you sit down, evaluate what you are saying, and try to figure out what on earth that has to do with corporate taxing.
You don't agree with a project that a government is developing, so it's not legitimate for them to tax corporations. That's the only connection I can see.

Erm the state isn't a for-profit entity, in fact if it were to generate a profit for some reason and didn't use that money to improve infrastructure and the living conditions of the people it represents then it would've stopped serving its purpose.
It doesn't matter that their investment doesn't generate revenue, it will improve the lives of the people it represents.
