"Thirty large American corporations spent more money on lobbying than they paid 
in federal taxes from 2008 to 2010, according to a report from the nonpartisan 
reform group Public Campaign. All of the companies were profitable at the time. 
In spite of this, and the massive federal budget deficit, 29 out of the 30 
companies featured in the study managed through various legal tax-dodging 
measures to pay no federal income taxes at all from 2008 through 2010. The lone 
exception, FedEx (FDX), paid a three-year tax rate of 1%, nowhere near the 35% 
called for by the federal tax code."
