Al, > I think the article is using the word revenue for earnings as well...so i think the 3.4T figure is referring to earnings...then the ratio ~ works...the statutory tax rate is 35% while the effective tax paid is 22% hence 1.2T lost to special provisions. Even if "revenues" and "earnings" were confused, the total tax revenues "lost" due to the tax breaks would represent 35% of net earnings. And that would be on top of the taxes corporations already pay. There are way too many problems with those figures you cited. Best to throw them out and try again. Tenchusatsu
