Advocates for reducing U.S. corporate tax rates argue that lower
corporate rates charged in other countries impede American
competitiveness. Yet a new study finds that many of the nation's top
companies are already paying less in U.S. taxes on their pretax profits
than they do overseas.
In a study comprising more than half of the Fortune 500 list of the
largest U.S. corporations, a quarter of those examined paid little or
nothing in federal income taxes during the 2008-2010 period, despite
registering profits in all three years.
I wonder why corporations leave the US tax haven and move to far off
places? Harry knows the answer but he won't admit it.
