Exxon Mobil's tax bill
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 09:16 AM by phostur
I was watching Thom Hartmann debate Neal Boortz, and Boortz claimed that Exxon Mobil pays more taxes than the bottom 50% of Americans. my first thought was, that simply means people in this country are so damned poor, we practically live in a third world country! Not sure about the facts of this, but I suspect we may be seeing this piece of garbage on the right wing forward circuit.

What do you guys make of this?

Here's a link debunking some of Boortz's bullshit

1. Boortz is like all other right wing pundits...
Just pulls numbers out of his ass, knowing his listeners won't check and will repeat his lies.

pump at then pay to the Fed's and the States...
