12 billion in profits? Why does nobody mention the 27 BILLION in taxes they paid? That is equal to the taxes paid by the bottom 50% of tax payers in America. Oh, you think Exxon paid that 27 BILLION in taxes? WRONG, we paid it. It is passed on to us. Yes, lets tax the oil companys even more !!!!!! Hey, we dont need the money right? Here is a cut and paste for those looking for something to read, by a LIBERAL college professor. This is just one I picked, there are many more. Perhaps instead of reciting you campaign rhetoric and talking points on the Obama tax plan, do some looking yourself. Punish the oil companys? Thats punishing EVERY ONE of us who buys gas. http://mjperry.blogspot.com/2008/02/putting-exxons-tax-bill-in-perspective.html
