Yeah, That's Only $15.6 Bil US Tax Paid on $206.2 Bil of US Pretax Income .......................................................................................

JPMorgan Chase Also Has $38.4 Bil, Citigroup $47.0 Bil and Bank of America $17.8 Bil of Foreign Earnings They Will Be Able to Repatriate Cheaply Under the Trump Tax Proposal
