45 Billion in profit.............. big number. 

No taxes due to IRS.  Income taxes were paid, just not to the USA.  All shuttled offshore.

Meanwhile....... the 47% of Americans who don't pay income tax also includes........

1)  The Elderly on Fixed Incomes
2)  Single Parents
3)  Working Parents Earning Under $30,000

Fox News seems to be enjoying picking on these people this week though.

Exxon is only the most profitable company in USA history.

Why would they pay any income tax?

Yup. It's wrong imo for that shit if it's true(don't watch much of any of them) for these "media" outlets to start going after the little guy.

Just like it was wrong for the Bush media to say the shit that they spewed.
Back to square one.
And on and on.
Shit will come to a head within the next decade imho.
Just reality.

That's ok if O'Dummy made a mistake, he will just raise all households who make over 100K taxes, tax everyone who makes money off investments from 40 to 50% and maybe raise the VAT slightly higher

Well for one thing, I would like the most profitable company in USA history to pay a lot more in taxes than zero.

Plus maybe an Iraqi surcharge.

you have to understand that when you want to "punish" the corporations for being successful, what you are doing is 'punishing" yourselves because like I said, they simply RAISE PRICES to pay for whatever penalty or tax imposed on them...omg..you people really are ignorant...

No of course not.
Things aren't getting rosier though either.
Do you think we are heading in a new/better direction now?

So a Corporation's customers just automatically eat price increases due to their tax bill?

Interesting.

"What more do you parasitic, worthless, dumbass libs want from  them"

I'll tell you what I want...

I WANT MY FUCKING COUNTRY BACK!!!!!

The country that these corporate fucks stole by assassinating the middle class.

The country that these corporate fucks stole by putting all the politicians in their hip pockets.

The country that these corporate fucks stole by saturating the media with bible-thumping flag-waving impostors.

Piss on your grave Ronald Reagan...
Shove your Trickle Down Economics up your dead ass.
