"Corporations Avoid Taxes By Offshoring $2.5 Trillion — More Than The GDP Of France

The report spotlights some of the most egregious examples:

Nike operates 55 overseas tax haven subsidiaries, including 3 in Bermuda — which has a 0% corporate tax rate, and where Nike  does not operate a single actual shoe store. In total, Nike reported $10.7 billion in overseas profits — but paid only a 1.4 % tax rate."

It's a lot easier to give big donations (much of which can be written off) when you are stashing billions overseas avoiding paying billions in taxes, robbing Oregon and the U.S. of much needed revenue. Think of this donation like a thief who ripped you off and then decides to give you back 5% and then is celebrated for generosity.

Meanwhile, Knight is donating to the anti-M97 campaign and the the Republican GOP, working to obstruct funding for public education just like he did with M66 and M67.
