There's a law on the books to make corporations pay taxes on the huge profits they report to shareholders.
The Trump admin has quietly decided not to enforce it.
This de facto corporate tax break will add hundreds of billions to the deficit.

This is how the GOP treats people who sexually abuse children and run child sex slave networks. Thankfully they treat undocumented children and families much better (yes that was sarcasm).
