They don't? TELL GE! They get Billions Annually Yes their tax bill is actually a Huge Payment to them For billions of dollars! Their not the only company! Plus JUST LIKE YOU they can use write-offs and all tax deductions, THEY PAID TAXES this Year QUARTERLY So if they paid Taxes each Quarter for the fist 3 quarters... HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF WRITE-OFFS with the way ECIG has been treated by note holders and the downward movement... ECIG is now able to write-off money paid for Interest Depreciation ANY LOSS SUFFERED from a VARIETY OF SITUATIONS THAT APPLY TO THEM! A 600 Million dollar Market Cap company does not pay the same taxes as a 12 million dollar Market cap Company! So what happened to the Value... DID it EVAPORATE?? Its similar to tax selling at the end of the year... when your stock goes down.. you can use those losses!
