In the 2009-2010 fiscal year, Verizon paid $0 in income tax, but got a $1,300,000,000 refund. The tax code is currently so long and complex any company with a good legal team can dodge taxes. Instead of having the myraid exceptions and refunds, just charge one low, equal, income tax to make sure that every company pays their fair share to Uncle Sam. http://www.cwa2201.org/Flyers/Verizon%20slash%20jobs.pdf
