"Boeing officials said they, too, had paid some federal taxes, but would not say how much. They said they had lowered their rate by taking advantage of tax breaks intended to encourage hiring. Chaz Bickers, a company spokesman, said Boeing hired 9,000 American workers this year"
I don't have a problem making corps pay their far share and I don't have a problem hitting corps who move their office over seas to avoid paying taxes. I personally don't even understand how corps are taxed. I know they pay payroll taxes, and other taxes on purchases and stuff but if the corp passes the profits over to the stock holders what is left to tax? I've tried to look it up but never found anything that explains how they are taxed. I do understand how S corps are taxed because I am an S corp.
