So basically, YOUR tax money is used and given to those corporations.
you're simply incorrect when you say "most companies"
GE was able to recoup huge losses from the years before from its financial arm against current gains and they also have a strong tax department. If they weren't forced to move offshore because of one of the worlds highest corp rates, they wouldn't be there along with all those jobs.

and this: "After all the loopholes, 2/3 of U.S corporations pay zero in taxes. " is an absolute lie. stop going to wherever it is you read that. its filling your head with falsehood.
