That's a really dumb article. The key word is "subsidy" -- when you see it in the context of taxes it is ALMOST ALWAYS just plain wrong. With a couple of exceptions that entire list is bullshit.

FedEx didn't pay taxes because it spent money to buy aircraft which is a legitimate way to create jobs (versus the government spending, illegitimate way you're fine with). So, by spending a lot of billions on new plans, FedEx acquired productive assets, created no-telling-how-many private sector jobs, and cost the taxpayer nothing. You see, as those new planes produce revenue for FedEx, it will be taxed on those profits if they aren't reinvested.

Misinformation: It is what happens when ignorant liberals start trying to analyze complicated subjects.
