The difference between "many Americans" (actually other highly-taxed subjects are probably the same) and hideous unkillable corporate zombies like Ikea is that the little people use the tax laws as they are. The corporate monsters write the tax laws, to their own exclusive benefit, in every nation they invade. That's not an option for the little people.
There's a narrative here that says we got into this situation by the little people being uniformed and complicit.
OTOH, it is rarely so simple, since many of the little people work for those companies. When your employer does this stuff, it is probably good for you.
One doubts those narrators would approve of the little people doing what it would actually take to rein in big business. In any case, it seems impossible to be both uninformed and complicit. (If you were just being really subtle and meant "uniformed", then yes one would agree that uniformed people, little or big, are more likely to be complicit.)
