Exxon Mobil makes 10.65 BILLION dollar PROFIT, first quarter. That's Jan./Feb./Mar... The Federal Government is providing a 4 BILLION dollar tax subsidie prior to this profit. And they dont plant ONE F*&KIN TREE! PJ20 should in no way be held in a state ran by a weak minded far right wing republican, why? to bring revenue to a state that doesnt believe in collective bargaining...IMO/ And also, are the roadies/stagehands that facilitate PJ shows belong to a union? I'm mad as hell and will continue to take it up the keister until Canada convinces me otherwise! :evil:

    Exxon pays more taxes than any other company in the Standard & Poor's 500 index -- $59 billion in the United States over the past five years.

    After taxes, the company earned $41 billion from U.S. operations during that period.

    Well said.. I couldnt agree more. Not Obama bashing or Bush supporting, Just sick of how these extremely wealthy companies continue to make huge profits off of the lower class. ( BC there is no more middle class)

    Unless you are extremely wealthy and don't give a shit , how could you defend a corporation making obscene profits while people can not afford to put gas in their cars? At what point is not OK to profit from the misery of others?

    so in a quarter they have about 100 billion in revenue and make 10 billion profit which is 10%
    do they ever lose money in a year or a quarter?
    i doubt it

    i do think that the higher gas prices are, the more likely we will move to alternative energy sooner and it will speed up the development of better technology that is cost effecive for people to adopt so they are sort of shooting themselves in the foot-

    1. Exxon made 6% of the aformentioned profit selling gas and refining gas in the US. (Other parts of its business, like selling oil and natural gas overseas, accounted for much more.)


    2. Exxon doesn't controll the price of oil or gasoline

    3. The world is consuming more oil now than it did before the recession, raising demand


    Why do people get so bent out of shape when companies make money around here?

    did you see this...what an outrage! Shouldn't people with lower incomes be able to have an IPAD?
    Apple reported net income of $6.0 billion, or $6.40 per share, on $24.7 billion in sales compared to net income of $3.3 billion or $3.33 per share, on $13.5 billion in sales during the year-ago period.
    Apple reported gross margins for its fiscal second quarter of 41.4%, compared to the 39% analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had been expecting.

    Because "We the People" provide the huge tax subsidie which they recieve via OUR TAX DOLLARS..
    Any entity making a $10 billion profit that recieves a tax break from the federal tax laws, which BTW were enacted by GW is sickening. Thats how I feel. It's kinda like going to the diner, and watching the waiter eat your fries...

    Good on you...was hoping you weren't stopping there each week to top off your tank. BP/Amoco is currently on my "Despised" list, after hearing Eddie's 2007 Lolla "Don't Go to BP/Amoco" punk anthem...then they officially moved to my "Don't Frequent" list after their LA Gulf fiasco.

    As someone else said though, time is short before this is relo'd to AMT. Before that, I'd challenge you to think not just about the "far right wing republican," but also the "far left wing democrat" representatives elected and paid by us to be in WI to do a job...only to be MIA...and STILL getting paid! Now how's that for a tax subsidy on their profit?

    So next qtr, when that number is 9% and they have only made 2 or 3 billion on gas while working people are forced to park their cars because they can not afford the $60 to fill the tank it will still be ok?

    Profits are fine, even necessary. Corporations like exxonmobilibmmicrosoft or whatever they are now, are to blame for the absolute, at all costs, maximization of profits.

    Sorry, I will never agree that a faceless, soulless entity like a corporation is more deserving than real, breathing, flesh and blood people who are just trying to get by.

    Since you edited, I will too.

    Apple get no subsidy from the US government.
