Tax reform debate hinges on big corporate tax breaks
A Citizens for Tax Justice study claims over half of 250 top corporations paid no federal income tax in at least one year between 1982 and 1985 while reporting pre tax profits near 73 billion dollars. AT&T led with 25 billion in pre tax earnings yet received a 636 million refund. Other beneficiaries include DuPont Boeing General Dynamics General Mills and International Paper. The piece argues current code favors big firms and calls for stronger tax measures to relieve individuals and small businesses.
