You think Target and Walmart do not avoid high taxes through clever tricks?



"Wal-Mart paid 34 cents in taxes for every dollar of profit it made in the past three years."

Still, profit is only what is left after the accountants did their job.


Funny that the articles uncited tax number only went back 3 years. What would happen if they went back more? http://www.ctj.org/pdf/walmart041607.pdf
