What? The taxes were paid on the sale of that team when Pegs bought it. The issue was Wilson's didn't have ready cash to pay the taxes when he died. Plus she had no desire to run the team. Big business pay many things even with tax breaks that benefit all. For example, while they write-off salaries as an expense the employees pay taxes on it. Those huge tax benefits the media tells you about are primarily normal tax deductions like salary, rents, supplies, etc... It's not like the government hands them money, but they give deductions, but like you can for children, house mortgage, donations to charity. Keep thinking the man is out to get you.
