Unreported corporate income, & off shore tax havens cost the government how much a year?

billions in lost tax revenue, to be sure. How much is anybody's guess. Good point.

A Senate report estimated in 2008 that the United States loses up to $100 billion a year in tax revenue to offshore tax havens.

Here's a recent state-by-state listing of how much of each state's lost tax revenue is shifted to taxpayers:

Edit: Merlin, $80 million? More like $11 billion for California.

If it's unreported, how do we know how much is being hidden since it's, well, unreported?

Any number applied to this is nothing more than a guess. It might be an educated guess, but it's still a guess.

Look, being rich means being able to hide your money in a safe place. Governments not being able to provide services to the poor and middle class is not a problem for the rich.

We want the government weak otherwise they try to hold you accountable to laws that interfere with making money.

How would you be so knowledge of any corporation and their claims? Give me one valid source.

It costs California $80,000,000 a year...... 80 million.

We don't really have the figures. It would be a great deal of money.
