In reply to the discussion: Corporation That Paid Nothing In Taxes For Four Years Tells Congress It Pays Too Much In Taxes [View all]BumRushDaShow

Keep pounding this over and over. Corporations have obfuscated that their so-called "pay too many taxes" is never the reality when the returns are exposed.
Their short-sightedness by going with short-term spite will ultimately lead to their self-destruction, because they have systematically shorted the producers of their products who they seem to forget would also be the consumers of their products.
And thus greed results in products that consumers can no longer afford. And they are doing this world-wide.

Makes sense. They paid too much in comparison to what they have to pay in the Caymans....ZERO.
