10-15 years ago, I ran a modernization update at Minute Maid, a Coca-Cola com. (Due to work, I had to do this non-union) Coca-Cola hates the unions.
Anyhow, I got to know some execs there fairly well. Turns out, they bottled Minute Maid for ZERO profit, and showed NO INCOME to do this. WHY?
Turns out that C-C owns 80% of the orange groves in Brazil. They process the concentrate there, and send 55 gal drums here for bottling. They charge themselves $600 a barrel for the concentrate, yet it only costs them $55 a barrel to make. Why? I asked them.
They show no income here, so they pay no taxes. They send the $600 to Brazil, where they make 1000% profit. In Brazil, they pay NO TAXES.
So, the poor sheeple that bottle it here, pay MORE taxes than the company they work for.
But somehow I am sure the UAW is to blame here too.
