Mine do not. Of course everybody wants to give as little as possible. What I don't want is multi-billion MNC's getting away with paying less then me...because they can hire a gazillion tax lawyers and bribe...er, I mean make huge campaign contributions to pols to enact favorable tax laws.

This I definitely agree with. I don't know a lot about the publishing industry but B&M stores need to work on what they
