It's a bunch of crap that they and the author of that piece are trying to tie this into the economy. The REAL reason most of these major multi-national corporations NEVER owe the U.S. any Federal Income Tax is because the U.S. is the only civilized nation on this planet that doesn't tax earnings reported in other countries. So all they have to do is magically only show profits in their non-U.S. facilities and presto, no federal taxes.
They are a smart company...profits are from overseas and they keep their losses on US soil.
Many others are doing that as well, but not as well as GE with a 0 tax liability.
I wonder about that 47% of Americans who pay no income tax. Say $1000 for each of them that would figure out to many billions but then those people will vote Democrat forever, although they know so little about what is going on.
