Or, that as part of the extreme lengths companies go through to avoid paying taxes in the United States, one building in the Cayman Islands is the officially registered headquarters for nearly 19,000 corporations?

A group of corporate CEOs, known as the Reforming America's Taxes Equitably (RATE) Coalition,  sent a letter  to Congress asking for the corporate tax rate to be lowered. CEOs from 17 of the largest U.S. companies say, in the letter, that the corporate tax rate of 35% is the highest of any industrialized nation and that it leaves American companies unable to compete.
