"Largest U.S. oil company surges past analyst estimates to post net income of $14.83 billion."
"Exxon Mobil: Biggest profit in U.S. history."
What with all the subsidies, depletion allowances, etc., I wonder how much in the way of taxes those folks pay on that? How much of it is money pumped from the US Treasury into the profit line?
Or if they remembered to deduct the cost of the little girls and boys they supplied to the US government folks determining the royalties paid for US oil to help raise moral during these difficult times?
