Estado de California recibe 4 mil millones de dólares más en impuestos
La alegría de los políticos en California debe haber llegado a niveles inauditos tras haber descubierto que su organización criminal ha logrado apoderarse este año de 4,3 mil millones de dólares más en impuestos que en el 2005. Este aumento se debe a la venta de acciones de Google, cuyas ganancias están sujetas a un impuesto californiano.
Internet giant Google's stock has soared since it went public almost two years ago -- and that has created a windfall for state government coffers.California took in a record $11.3 billion in personal income tax receipts in April, $4.3 billion more than it collected last April. It's almost certain that a significant chunk of April's haul came from Google employees -- perhaps one-eighth or more of the tax receipt gain.
Fourteen of Google's top executives and directors sold $4.4 billion worth of stock last year, according to Thomson Financial. That includes founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, each of whom sold about $1.3 billion worth of stock.
