Post by: megimoo on May 01, 2008, 08:25:58 PM
"This is the Democrat/Liberal fondest wish, to keep the troughs full and Add more cash to the pork barrel for Muthra's critters ! 

The breakdown, according to Perry, is $9.3 billion in income taxes, $8.4 billion in sales-based taxes and $11.6 billion in other taxes.

Thus, Exxon-Mobil paid nearly $3 in taxes for every $1 in income. Exxon-Mobil’s income taxes of $9.3 billion in Q1 2008 also set a new all-time record for the highest amount of income taxes ever paid by a U.S. corporation in a single quarter.

Yes, this just goes along with what I posted in the political ammo thread. Too bad the libtards don't understand it.

Rush was replaying some Hilary's comments this week about Evil Oil and how she needed to get OPEC in line (she has no power to do that) and how we needed to 'understand the price of gas so we can fix it' ..

her and Obama are quite inept at economics and I pray to God that McCain finally seizes on this aspect in the GE..
