ELI5:Why do companies like Google, Microsoft, apple etc largely support liberal politicians but then hide money overseas from taxes and higher cheap labor in China?

We all read about these plans like building giant barges for financial headquarters so they can sit in international waters where there are no taxes. They higher workers at the Foxconn place etc. Why do they support liberals but dodge their policies?

Google, Apple, and Microsoft are all publicly traded companies. Because, unlike a private company, they are ultimately obligated to provide good returns to their investors, if it's legal and it saves them money, they're obligated to do those things.
