But as a recent ITEP report found, plenty of the biggest and most profitable corporations could be forgiven for being unimpressed by the plan: of 258 Fortune 500 corporations that have been consistently profitable over the last eight years, 69 companies-more than a quarter of them-paid an effective federal income tax rate of less than 15 percent over the eight-year period.
