Facebook pays no taxes
Fucking child's play compared to GE.

Quote:For those unaccustomed to the loopholes and shelters of the corporate tax code, GE's success at avoiding taxes is nothing short of extraordinary. The company, led by Immelt, earned $14.2 billion in profits in 2010, but it paid not a penny in taxes because the bulk of those profits, some $9 billion, were offshore. In fact, GE got a $3.2 billion tax benefit.
But even that isn't enough for the libertarian fat-cat Koch Brothers and their sock puppets, like Herman Cain.

Quote: Cain's various comments scorning the non rich and his links to wealthy plutocratic anti-populists like David and Charles Koch, billionaires who "bankroll right-leaning causes through their group Americans for Prosperity" Id. (The Koch-funded group would be more aptly named America Run for the Super-Rich, since it lobbies for the right's agenda of New Deal elimination and targeting of earned benefits of ordinary Americans through a campaign for zero taxation on capital, deregulation, militarization, and privatization .)
