Even using ThinkProgress’ very generous tax bill of $11 billion for immigrants, it’s dwarfed by Exxon’s $17.6 billion, the highest amount of any US corporation.

FANG: Hi this is Lee Fang from ThinkProgress. Here in DC after Republicans made large gains in the election last year, the debate started shifting towards giving more tax breaks to large corporations, more tax cuts to the rich. Bank of America for example paid nothing in corporate income taxes last year and now we’re debating the Paul Ryan budget plan that gives large tax cuts to upper income earners. Do you think celebrities or people in the Creative Coalition need another tax cut?

DAWSON: Ok I’m not part of the Creative Coalition but, no.

ALLEN: That’s a lightning round, how’s that!

DAWSON: I will just say immigrants pay more taxes than Exxon!
