Actually read the article.
http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2010/...x_bills/2.html

Exxon paid 47% of their profit in taxes. Just not in the US. They
get to
deduct those taxes paid overseas. It says Nigeria gets a tax rate of
85% on
any profits in the country. Seems as if it is congress problem, not an
Exxon problem. Looks like Exxon actually paid the USA 7.7 Billion in
taxes
and duties last year. Seems as if that added some to the cost of fuel.

I thought the US was the most heavily taxed nation in the world. Which
is it. Do we have high or low taxes? Since you claim to have read the
article, please tell us how many taxes Exxon paid to the IRS?
Absolutely zero, so naturally we gave them a subsidy to ruin the
environment.

Maybe on a gross level, but no one an individual level. Just that with
your record you can't travel out of state much less the country.

And wonder why the economy is doing so poorly?

Article said Exxon paid $7.7 billion in taxes to USA entities.

I am sure they did. I know COP pays plenty, I read their financial reports.

What we really see here is a evil idiot Obama using peoples greed and
envy as blame deflection. Get them to hate someone else, appealing to
low life need to hate. Have them hate the "rich" and they will hate
Obama less. Feed and prey on the gullibility of stupid fleabaggers.

A well known, open discussed form of management and political psychology
and I am sure Obama picked it up at Harvard or somewhere. Usually a
sign of a political bully mentality with narcissism and a closed mind.
Certain shows Obama to be a manipulative SOB.

If it is all Bush's fault, then how come Obama is doing much more of the
same and expecting different results?
