"I wonder how much in the way of taxes those folks pay on that?"

Wouldn't it be something if you actually wanted to know the answer to that question?

An answer you've heard here at least half a dozen times here already, or is easily accessible to any ten-year-old on Google?

Does this phrase sound familiar:

"Exxon Mobil, just one oil company, paid more taxes in 2007 (about $30 billion) than the entire bottom 50 percent (income) of Americans paid in income tax in 2005 (about $29 billion). That's over 65 million people."

I posted that back in September. And back in June. That's as far as my search goes, but I know I've posted other links to oil company financial reports before.

Simple ignorance on a subject is perfectly excusable. None of us knows everything. Willful ignorance after being informed multiple times indicates a problem.
