I often think that some people are so sure they have the answer that they can't see beyond the end of their nose:
Taxation Hero: Exxon Mobil Pays $3 In Taxes For Every $1 In Profit

."...That’s right, since its emergence as a unified company, Exxon Mobil has paid governments around the world more than $1 trillion. That’s more than double its net cash flow over the same period and almost three times its profits of $352 billion.

Think about what this means: For every dollar in profits it earns for its shareholders, Exxon Mobil earns nearly three dollars for governments.

Good article from Forbes and skewers the progressives assault on businesses"
I got this in the rights forum- now the upbeat side is the business is making33%profit
or $352billion in profit is one big hunk of change
but the real deal is how much does it cost you the taxpayer for these oil companies to make money for your gas to ride your butt around?
wars,graft,corruption appears to all fall into their portfolio
