Thank Exxon for NOT PAYING the I.R.S.

Once again, WF, you have proven yourself a babbling idiot.

Formula for any business. Pricing will be enough to cover expenses plus a % for overhead, and a % for profit.

Taxes are an expense. Therefore every dollar spent for taxes comes back to the consumer as the tax plus a % for overhead and a % for profit.

Please quit begging for the corporations to pay taxes, those of us not as well off as you can not afford it.

and it seems Exxon was able to do a fairly good job of being profitable too doesn't it? However, NOT paying the IRS by forming offshore shell companies is NOT HELPING AMERICANS fund our military, build/maintain interstates(to move trucks from refineries to the gas pumps), maintain ports where these folks unload tankers, and all the other things needed for any country's economic success now does it?

seeing they prefer giving money to Carribean Governments perhaps they should get Haiti or Costa Rica to go do ALL the fighting in Iraq/Afghanistan/Yemen and everywhere else OR THEY could hire Blackwater or other mercenary forces rather than the American taxpayer paying to do so  and include that as a BUSINESS EXPENSE

So you still want someone else to pay your way.
