The 85 US Companies With Stock Market Caps of $20-30 Bil Posted Total Worldwide Consolidated Income Tax Rate Paid For the Most Recent 3 Years of 27.9%, Much Higher Than the 24.6% For That of the 45 US Largest Companies With Stock Market Caps Above $100 Bil .................................................................................... Further, the Trump Tax Proposal is Flat Out Way Off Target in Helping the Very Largest, Most Profitable US Corporations So Much More Than It Helps US Companies Smaller Than the Very Largest US Corps .................................................................................... The 43% Drop in the Statutory US Corporate Rate From 35% to 20%, the Huge First Year Bonus Tax Depreciation For Many Years, the Substantial Reduction in the Existing Deferred Federal Income Tax Liability On the Books Now at 35%, the Magnitude of Cumulative Foreign Earnings That Can Be Cheaply Repatriated and the Switch to the Territorial Tax System All Five Disproportionately Help the Most Profitable US Corps Over All Other US Companies of All Sizes: The Very Largest, Most Profitable US Corps Are Substantially More Likely To Get Much More of These Tax Benefits Included in the Trump Tax Proposal Than All Other US Companies

Based on a review of their audited annual financial statements and income tax footnotes filed with the SEC, below is the Worldwide Consolidated Income Tax Paid and the related Worldwide Consolidated Pretax Income for the most recent three years for the 85 US Companies all with Stock Market Caps between $20 Bil and $30 Bil, shown in Stock Market Cap order:

Next up, the so many smaller US Companies with Stock Market Caps of $10-20 Bil.  This will take awhile, but so far the Total Worldwide Consolidated Income Tax Rate Paid for them is especially high.  They have no chance to compete against the very largest, most profitable US Companies.
