Nearly 6 billion paid in federal taxes...
just about 2.5% off all taxes paid in the country.
No charges for any crimes.
What is the heartache?

If they played by the rules and you don't like the result, you should tell your buddy Obama. He loves to exempt his rich Hollywood and other buddies from taxes.

What crime did they commit that they would be charged for?

They utilized tax code to minimize their tax burden. I did the same thing by writing off my mortgage interest and donations to charity...

I say blame the system which provides the loopholes. This ultra complex tax code is doing this country no good, and creating headaches every year at tax time. While the mega corporations spend millions to save billions, the IRS will throw the book at the little guy for skipping out on a couple hundred bucks...
