A high percentage of their revenue is not made in the US.
Agreed. But that changes nothing. If I make money in foreign markets and it does not come back to the US then I don't pay US taxes. Simple. So, a lot of these companies use LEGAL tax avoidance procedures (such as offshore profits). Whether that is fair or not is a matter of opinion, not fact. Facts do not care about your feelings.
