163. What she said!
Keep this in mind: Enron never paid a dime in taxes. In fact, they ended up getting money from the US Government.

Lots of large multinationals NEVER pay taxes. Usually the local pols are so desperate to bring 'jobs' to their constituents they set up these sweetheart deals where the company doesn't have to pay taxes, doesn't have to enforce labor laws, and to top this off, the city or state will build the infrastructure for that multinational to build glass towers on.

Case in point: San Jose's Coyote Valley and Cisco Systems

BTW...SJ built the infrastructure, but Cisco never moved there.
