This one will sink like a rock
« on: November 19, 2013, 07:12:24 PM »
DUmmie Stuart G posts an interesting list from CNN money with the fortune 500.

Who's the biggest whore

The bad news for the DUmmies is if you do as Stuart says and look at profit as a percentage or revenue.

Who is the biggest whore among U.S corporations?

Hit that link and you will see. Now, for me, it isn't necessarily the amount of profit, it is the percent of revenues that profit is. You must pull down the window on the right side of the chart, and (more data) you can see the profit as a percent of revenues . Most of us would not be surprised as to who makes the highest per cent profit in the first 100, but later on, there are surprises. They are all bad, but some have a higher percent profit than others. Might interest some people . Have a look...(it also shows who lost money last year...if anyone wants to know)

3.6 % ain't a hell of a lot.   :hammer:

I hope they look long and hard at it, then let it seep into their concrete craniums the government takes almost 3 times that in taxes from Exxon.

But I'm not holding my breath, that's oxygen a DUmmie would just be wasting anyway.

Hey DUmbass, those evil profits you always bitch about are why I can go to any number of stores, at any given time, and get whatever the hell I need in no time without having to wait in a ration line. Stupid ****.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson.

Apple is evil.

That's why democrats only use cellphones manufactured in Detroit by members of the United Auto Workers.

You have to admit, it's theoretically possible to build a cellphone factory in Detroit and allow the UAW to organize the workers.

What would the phones cost? How often would your call go through? How long until it's broken?

Honest question here.
Has anyone ever met someone that is from a socialist country that has come here and continued to be a socialist?
I know quite a few people from places like Cuba and the former USSR and none has done so. They all have embraced capitalism and tend to vote conservative. They came here (at times at great risk) for the freedoms and opportunity that this country offers, not the regimes that they fled. Do the primitives not have any friends that were born elsewhere?

If there are any foreigners on the island, I guess they could.  In real life? Don't think they have any friends since they start up a spittle shower whenever somebody disagrees with them.
