Summary:
- Verizon, a major telecommunications company, received a large tax refund of over $4 billion from the U.S. government.
- This refund was due to a provision in the 2017 tax law that allowed companies to deduct the full cost of their capital investments, like building cell towers and other infrastructure.
- The article suggests that this tax refund is a "windfall" for Verizon, as it allows the company to keep more of its profits instead of paying taxes, and raises questions about whether the tax law is benefiting large corporations more than average citizens.
