Death and Taxes
Nothing in life is certain except death and taxes. Unless, of course, you happen to be an American corporation.
"And a 2008 GAO report found that two-thirds of US corporations paid zero federal income taxes from 1998-2005. Twenty-five percent of the largest US corporations had $1.1 trillion in gross sales in 2005 but paid no federal income taxes. Where is the debate on corporate tax rates and loopholes? If corporations are now people, can't they start paying taxes like people too? (Not if their new Supreme Court-sponsored campaign ads can help it.)" - quoted from the below-linked article
