Corporations That Spent The Most On Lobbying Saw Tax Rates Decline

Corporations That Spent The Most On Lobbying Saw Tax Rates Decline. Shocker.

"The top eight companies that spent the most on federal lobbying from 2007 to 2009 all saw their reported tax rates decrease from 2007 to 2010, according to a new analysis released Monday by the Sunlight Foundation. The report notes that these top eight firms spent $540 million on lobbying from 2007 to 2009. They filed 332 lobbying reports that mentioned taxes and named 491 different tax bills in those reports."
