Wages Stagnate as U.S. Manufacturers Reap Record Profits

5. Boeing has been draining the state treasury for a long time

When the latest Boeing plea for $9 billion more in its corporate welfare was made, inquiries to the state asking just how much Boeing, a public company, actually was paying in state taxes (if any,) they were rebuffed because, well, "it's a secret." In other words, Boeing is just another Walmart where they pay no taxes plus get many billions of state funds to line their pockets.

When the CEO of Boeing retires, he will collect his pension of $260,000 -- PER MONTH.

Here's another tidbit: Washington has no income tax. That's why billionaire parasites like to live there. The only sources of income for the state are sales tax and, to a far lesser degree, property tax and "Business and Occupation" tax (a tax on gross income.) Boeing gets around paying any sales tax on the hundreds of billions in plane sales by using this sleight of hand: They fly the new plane outside the continental US, over the ocean, and "deliver" the plane there.
