Exxon was taxed at 41% last year. What was your income tax rate? Obviously, it is much higher given the transfer of wealth from hard workers to corporations. </p> So, why did they do so well prior to 2003 without our government spending $500 Billion to secure their product?

The two headlines are quite related in that they are both a result of massive wealth transfers from working people to multi-national corporations and the military industrial complex Dwight warned us about.

But funny enough the business papers will talk about Exxon's profits as if they are a result of hard work and free market economics.
