...you can take pride that your company delivered 1.5% of the federal income taxes paid by all of corporate America. IME (including writing the actual SQL queries against a corporate billing system that calculated ideal writeoff amounts every year), corporations evade so many taxes that this amounts to an empty boast. 1.5% of bupkis is bupkis. Supporting the state through income taxes is inherently foolish, and moreover we do it in the most foolish way one could imagine.
