Yeah, but it’d be a lot more compelling a rebuttal if he laid out what the NYT’s factual inaccuracies were.

He implied FedEx paid more than $0 in federal income taxes in 2017 while explicitly stating NYT paid $0. So there's one concrete inaccuracy cited, although he didn't cite specific figures on FedEx's end. Still, a willingness to debate is notable, and it would likely come up.

Did he cite any specific errors? Trying to determine what is "factually incorrect".

I agree we shouldn't beat up on businesses for having a small tax liability (I mean, why would they want a larger one?) However, I don't think the tax cut has achieved its aims.
-
I'll note that some larger businesses do want heavier tax liability (like Costco IIRC). Mostly comes down to wanting to help the goovernment be able do more, although most of it could be solved by a <5% cut to military spending.

And even better, he is willing to challenge it with an open dialog.

This is exceedingly rare for a large company's CEO to do on their own accord. So it's definitely notable and could also potentially affect stock prices very noticeably.

Is there any written analysis that makes his argument? I appreciate his willingness to public debate, but if his argument is strong, it can be made outside of a colosseum.
