I wonder how much of that was lobbying for the recent tax bill?

All the corporations mentioned had ginormous piles of cash held overseas. Now they can bring it home at a lower rate, not pay US taxes on foreign earnings in the future, AND as a bonus pay lower taxes in the US.

I wouldn't be surprised if 2017 marks a high water mark for corporate lobbying.
