"The company's 10-K annual report, filed earlier this month with the Securities and Exchange Commission, shows that in 2014 Boeing paid a net $581 million in taxes on pretax U.S. profits of $6.8 billion, an effective tax rate of 8.5 percent."
i saw more like 22.5% for microsoftas far as boeing. they really do alot of work for the goverment and they honestly shouldnt have to pay that much. they invest more than you can imagine in strictly our "black page" programs.. yes **** like anit gravity and NASA etc.. that Id make an exception but i also believe they should divide the company becasue they use the mailitary ops to cover commerical ops..
im not sure where your getting that information but im not seeing anything close to that. look at this..
its not a revinue based tax. they pay over 300 MILIION DOLLARS to RUN THE COMPANY. there take home is 78 bollion. they still paid 30 billion!
you cant compare it to a individual tax. this company supply 100000s of jobs! if you would take them on the revinue they wouldnt beable to operate!
clearly you dont understand the huge coporations and how they operate, or you just want to driver them intio the ground!
this just goes to show there is NO ******* ways our country takes in 1.2 trillion dollars and we still spend 2.5(have to borrow about double what we make!) to operate. thats just complete BULLSHIT..
