The 71 Large US Companies With Stock Market Caps Between $30-50 Bil Showed Very Nice Lowering of Their Total Consolidated Income Tax Paid Rate From 27.8% in 2014 to 23.4% in 2015 and to 22.3% in 2016 .................................................................................... These Large US Companies Have Done a Nice Job Reducing Their Total Income Tax Paid Rate On Their Own, So Why Does the Trump Administration Now Want To Bestow All of This Lavish US Government Corporate Welfare on These Mostly Very Successful Large US Companies? If You Do Something Like This, It Only Seems Logical To Consider It When the Country is in a Deep Recession .................................................................................... These 71 Companies With Stock Market Caps Between $30 Bil and $50 Bil Have Total Cumulative Foreign Earnings To Repatriate of $244 Bil, Only 16% of Such Similar Total of $1.507 Trillion For the 45 US Companies With Stock Market Caps of Above $100 Bil .................................................................................... In So Many Ways , the Trump Tax Proposal is Targeted at the Very Largest, Most Profitable US Corporations, Leaving All the Other US Companies in the Dust, Unable to Compete With the Very Largest, Most Profitable US Corps ....................................................................................... It is a Clear Trump Tax Proposal Strategy of Substantially Expanding Income Inequality of US Companies in the Corporate World, Just Like This Trump Tax Proposal Also Substantially Expands US Citizen Income Inequality

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, as well as the Cumulative Foreign Earnings, mostly at December 31, 2016, which can be repatriated for each of the 71 large US Companies all with Stock Market Caps Between $30 Bil and $50 Bil currently, shown in Stock Market Cap order:
