Corporate Taxes

We hear a lot about corporations avoiding federal taxes. Less well known is their non-payment of state taxes, which along with local taxes make up 90 percent of U.S. education funding. The total cost of K-12 educational cutbacks in recent years is approximately equal to the amount of state taxes left unpaid by these companies.

As multinational corporations continue a global stranglehold on international tax laws, the focus of every day citizens and their warranted angst are increasingly focused inwards at the individual other rather than the companies that skirt their patriotic duty.
