You hear a news story about a large corporation who's doing tax avoidance - legal restructuring designed to shield as many of their assets as possible from taxation.
This ____ your approval of this company

Depends on the company and the value their assets bring. If it’s advancing an industry/technological field, I may be more forgiving of it. Otherwise I’m rather neutral. I tend to view large corporations like simple creatures. Mainly concerned with their self preservation/growth.

Aren't corporations legally obligated to maximize their profits/growth for the shareholders? Are they just supposed to run themselves into the ground while their competition flourishes? 77% of people have never run a business so I guess that makes sense.

No change. Most large corporations do this. In the absence of contrary evidence I'd already assume any given corporation is doing this.
Illegal tax evasion would decrease approval and no tax avoidance would increase approval from base level.

The tax code is designed to encourage this type of behavior. Taxes have 2 purposes: bring in revenue, and incentivize behavior.
