Microsoft Taxpaying as Opposed to Mine

In 2008, I made a modest amount of money working for my employer. Well above the average mean income for my area, as befits my IT skills, but still quite modest when compared with other white-collar jobs.

I make some money on the side via my websites, and it's reported to the IRS.

In addition, my wife makes some money in her endeavors, again, reported.

I'm in the process of paying off a $4,000 tax debt.

That's why I get hacked off when I read about the state of Washington, and its collectively planting its figurative lips all over Microsoft's collective Ballmer, excuse me, posterior.

Read the depressing details here, if you dare.

Basically, M$ is getting unconditional amnesty from the financially strapped state of Washington for past tax evasion. We're talking OVER A BILLION DOLLARS.

Corporate crooks have long existed in American business. Meet the most prominent one today.
