This has been reported before I believe, but two thirds (actually 68%) of pay no federal income tax whatsoever No taxes. Personally when I advise small companies, if they are paying more than nuisance level state income (franchise) taxes, I suggest they reevaluate who they are using for an accountant. To a large extent corporate taxes today are a GOP boogieman, much like the so-called "death tax."
Personally I'd be pretty outraged and felt put upon if I found out two thirds of the people on my street weren't paying taxes, but the business community has done a superlative job with their PR front to reduce their taxes, supposedly to promote job growth.
And don't even get me started on public subsidies to businesses to lure them to a region.
