Buried in a story about corporate profits in the US in the last quarter of 2005:

Before-tax corporate profits increased 14.4% to an annual rate of $1.48 trillion, or 11.6% of GDP...

It's the largest share of GDP for profits since the second quarter of 1966.

But in 1966 many corporations actually paid taxes on their profits.
