FedEx Doesn’t Deliver…On Taxes

In 2010, 249 of the country’s largest and most profitable corporations paid less than the U.S. corporate tax rate and instead received federal tax subsidies totaling more than $87.27 billion.FedEx is one of the worst corporate tax dodgers.  From 2008 to 2010, FedEx made $4.2 billion in profits but they paid less than 1% in federal taxes.  
It’s time for corporate tax dodgers like FedEx to pay up!
