&gt; a corporation that barely pays taxes<p>I&#x27;m unsure how this really matters in regards to GE HQ relocation?<p>They pay 100% of the taxes they are legally obligated to pay - if you&#x27;re unhappy with that amount, change the laws. But lets not pretend they&#x27;re an evil corporation solely on the grounds of them not paying more taxes.<p>It&#x27;s not somehow patriotic to pay more in taxes than you legally owe.
