Something to think about:
In 2009 Exxon Mobil made $19 billion in profits. Not only
did Exxon not pay federal income taxes, they actually received a $156 million
rebate from the IRS, according to their SEC filings. (This factoid came from
the Internet)
By the way, most major oil companies each have been making close
to $19 billion each quarter in 2011 and 2012. Not per year, quarter!
All the more money for them to lobby with and campaign for
their favorite politicians who will do their bidding. Shameful. Not a person. Not a taxpayer either. But man do
they buy power!
Shameful to the third power.
