If other peoples' tax evasion is your big concern then you hate the wrong people.

Are we?

GE made nearly 7 billion dollars in 2023. Do you know how much tax they paid? They didn't, they got a refund of over 400 million dollars.

Tell me again that tax evasion isn't a real problem.

i didn't say tax evasion isn't the real problem. i said that the meme is blaming the wrong people.

it's GE's (And politicians) fault that GE is evading taxes, not the IRS.

Ah, so it's the IRS that was the wrong target. I see.
