10. "Math is a science" that relies on complete and factual information.

Here is one report about 288 companies and their effective tax rate over a 5 year period. (far more at the link provided below)

In summary:

Overview:
The table on this page summarizes what the 288 companies paid (or didn’t pay) in effective U.S. income
tax rates on their pretax U.S. profits.
•
The good news is that 62 companies (about a fifth of the companies in this report), paid effective five-
year tax rates of more than 30 percent. Their average effective tax rate was 33.6 percent.
•
The bad news is that even more companies, 67, paid effective five-year tax rates between zero and 10
percent. Their average effective tax rate was 1.5 percent.
•
Even worse news is that 26 companies paid less than zero percent over the five-year period. Their effective tax rate averaged –5.1 percent.
