WHACK!!! And yet, they paid 10% less Federal Income Tax than you did! It pays to be rich! You aughta try it..... Gee Fiddy, I hate to get in a pissin' match with someone of your caliber ( heee-hee-hee...) BUT...GE, ExxonMobil Citibank and BofA didn't pay 1 dollar in Federal Income Taxes last year! Or for many years before that. We don't have a spending problem as much as we have a Revenue shortfall. And to really drop a turd in the punchbowl, here's are some more facts for ya.... - CITIGROUP: Citigroup’s deferred income taxes for the third quarter of 2010 amounted to a grand total of $0.00. At the same time, Citigroup has continued to pay its staff lavishly. “John Havens, the head of Citigroup’s investment bank, is expected to be the bank’s highest paid executive for the second year in a row, with a compensation package worth $9.5 million.” - EXXON-MOBIL: The oil giant uses offshore subsidiaries in the Caribbean to avoid paying taxes in the United States. Although Exxon- Mobil paid $15 billion in taxes in 2009, not a penny of those taxes went to the American Treasury. This was the same year that the company overtook Wal-Mart in the Fortune 500. Meanwhile the total compensation of Exxon-Mobil’s CEO the same year was over $29,000,000. - GENERAL ELECTRIC: In 2009, General Electric — the world’s largest corporation — filed more than 7,000 tax returns and still paid nothing to U.S. government. They managed to do this by a tax code that essentially subsidizes companies for losing profits and allows them to set up tax havens overseas. That same year GE CEO Jeffery Immelt — who recently scored a spot on a White House economic advisory board — “earned total compensation of $9.89 million.” In 2002, Immelt displayed his lack of economic patriotism, saying, “When I am talking to GE managers, I talk China, China, China, China, China….I am a nut on China. Outsourcing from China is going to grow to 5 billion.” And Boeing, who was just awarded a 35 BILLION dollar contract from the US Gubermint, ( some of those dollars were YOUR tax dollars, Fiddy, so keep payin' yer taxes or the Gubmint will throw you in prison...) but paid no taxes last year.... You seem to be strugglin' with the fact that the Plutarchs are gaming the system and are stackin' all of the their costs of doin' bidness in Murika on your back..... YOU paid more in taxes last year than Murikas' biggest corporations! Reality ( " 152 mm " ) Agent
