The Evil Exxon Pays Equal To The Combined Bottom 50% Of US Taxpayers
Exxon Mobil pays as much in taxes ($27 billion) annually as the entire bottom 50% of individual taxpayers, which is 65,000,000 people! Further, the tax rate for the bottom 50% is only 3% of adjusted gross income ($27.4 billion / $922 billion), and the tax rate for Exxon was 41% in 2006 ($67.4 billion in taxable income, $27.9 billion in taxes).

Right, and we need to make sure that those evil corporations keep paying their �fair share� of taxes just like the rest of us.

To me, the ideal law would be to require all corporate profits be paid out in dividends. Any need for additional capital for expansion or new ventures would have to be obtained from the capital markets via borrowing or issuing new stock. Under this plan there would be no corporate income taxation, but the government could and no doubt would tax the shareholders for their dividend income. If corporate managers knew they had to borrow their funds, they would be more careful in planning their next move. Corporate management wouldn't be able to rest on their laurels.
Another good idea was the "Perry National Dividend Plan", conceived by the late John H Perry. Under his plan, all corporate taxes would have to be devoted to reducing the national debt. Once the national debt was paid off, then the corporate income tax proceeds would be paid out, prorata to the voters. This ingenious idea would turn almost every voter into an advocate of lean government and every voter into a dedicated capitalist. I broached this idea to the executive director of the Florida Democrat Party, commenting that this plan would put government on "autopilot". He replied, "Yeah, sounds like it would be too "automatic".
We can't be having a "plan" usurping politicians' prerogatives for graft, power, & corruption.
Needless to say, Perry's plan went over like a lead balloon. It would have made politicians irrelevant. https://www.legacy.com/PalmBeachPost/...sonID=17802366

Hey they just ran a propaganda add today on the TV stating that the energy producers spent 1.something trillion dollars on research etc. this past year. They did not say where that money came from.
Far as I'm concerned exxon should pay even more. How come they profit when we are choking on gas prices? Greed Greed Greed. Next thing you know we will have to lay our truck to rest because of an illegal war, global warming BS, and the efforts to keep alternative energy out of the hands of the people.
Were we not out of debt when boy bush came to office? I believe the Clinton administration pulled us out of recession and into the black. Recession was hitting us hard during the first gulf war. We couldn't even get anyone to look at our house never mind sell it. That was in 91. Then in 2001 we sold it quickly and actually got the money back out that we had put into it, a fair price at least.
If you really want to understand the deep level of control we are under and how energy could be free look for a post on Healthsalon by this coming Wednesday about UFO's. Some great films will be presented that will turn your head around, and Yes, the secret lies in the UFO story! The story is bigger than you think.

That would show those greedy bastards. Run'em out of the country.....like you did the auto factories in Michigan. Why should Exxon remain in this country? They make most of their earnings overseas. Why not headquarter in Aruba or the Bahamas? Then the bottom 50% could shoulder their own tax load.

Yep and they are charging too much overseas also. Companies like Exxon are Illuminati backed. Don't you get it? The goal is to squelch people and nations. Power is the name of the game.. they care not for the people, the environment, or anything else but to feed the new world order monster.
It was not me who ran the auto industries out of here. Start looking at WTO, NAFTA and all the crappy trade agreements. This is new world order too and if you think it has to do with democrats or republicans your not seeing the total picture. Both parties are pawns for the illuminati.

If your mom owns Exxon what the hell are you doing on this forum? Certainly you could find more to do with your time and money! ;)

She doesn't own the entire company. A share is less than $90.
Is this the video that you'll be posting on Salon?

No. I have seen this before. There was concern at one time that all that stuff floating around might be alien ships but I think it is just debris.
No, whats going onto healthsalon, and its already there, is a light year or two a head of this technology although this technology is significant if they can work the kinks out.
Some of the sites talk about broadcasting electricity and how electricity can be compounded in power. It is extreme food for thought.

Didn�t get much accomplished today after watching all the videos. I did go out and vote though.
Have already heard much of what was talked about, however it was nice to see the people and their titles that are attached to these stories. Cause as the media would have us believe they are all just a bunch of losers, misfits, and kooks.
I have not doubt that there are many things going on in these black programs that would just defy the imagine.
A few years back when the SR71 Blackbird was retired we were told what an absolute marvelous plane this was and how its performance was far beyond all other planes. What was discreetly overlooked in all the hoopla was that if the plane was that great why was it being retired, unless of course we already had something significantly better.
I like the comment that ET does not need to call home anymore, we can give him a lift!
