I am not at all sure they do pay all the tax they are legally required to, as minuscule as that percentage comparatively is. I believe they are so flaming greedy most of them resort to illegal tricks and sleights to avoid paying even that - one of the reasons they maintain entire staffs of accountants and lawyers. In fact I think it was right here on Wonkette that I read they do not get caught by the IRS - because of those same ingenious accountants and tax lawyers - while a waitress who reports her tips incorrectly is gone like a salmon in a basket trap. The IRS could catch them, if it was funded for enough clever lawyers and bookkeepers and computer nerds of its own, but apparently it isn't.The result would be enough extra government income to cover the IRS expenses and a lot of infrastructure too.Just listen to the super rich squeal like thoats on the dead sea bottoms of Barsoom the day that happens. "Socialism! Tyranny! I've only got 200 billion extra dollars this year! The government stole the rest!"
