One more point, add this to your scrap book. No one should trust Obama,
he will shake your hand and then bomb you if you don't kiss his
egalitarian pompous ass.

Want to know who Obama answers too?

That is why Hilary has a Saudi raise American Weiner as an aide.

The Drudge Report?? That's where morons get their news. No, I mean
seriously stupid people like you.

It is just a way to put a hidden tax on the consumer, similar to a

Really... the CEOs don't pay taxes either, apparently. Nobody has

Keep you head up your parrots ass Polly.

This world is now competing on taxes and USA is losing fast. Fact is
you have a big fat out of control debt corruption government that
doesn't give a rates ass about the people, they only care about being
bigger.

And the more the government gets, the less the people get. No amount of

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.
