How Apple spent $253 Billion in 1 year

The next time you read that Apple isn't paying their taxes:

...Third, Apple pays more in income taxes than any other publicly traded U.S. company. Its tax bill during the time period examined added up to $19.1 billion.

Even Wal-Mart, with almost twice as much revenue, paid less than half this amount, or $7.4 billion, during its previous four quarters.
