58% Surge In Exxon-Mobil Profits this Quarter--Great News for Our Team!
Edited on Thu Oct-30-08 08:57 AM by NYC_SKP
McCain's Tax Breaks for Oil Companies just became a little more unacceptable.

There's no way he can spin his way out of this news (drill baby drill?) and Obama's plans just became a little sweeter!



I'm gonna have a donut! :donut:

2. Oh, that's great news for Exxon and me. The last time Exxon posted great profits,
I was told by the RW that I should be happy because my retirement and mutual funds are doing great because of big oil. So I just checked my funds and?.....down 40% WTF.:crazy:

6. Oh, yes, "they" love to push the meme that what's good for them is...
...good for your retirement accounts.

It's "trickle down" with a twist.

5. It's a dumb idea to begin with.
What are they going to do if we don't give them tax breaks? Stop selling oil in the US? Yeah, right. We are their biggest consumer. We're the one driving those profits.

What is the purpose of giving them tax breaks? They are already making insane profits. How does it help the COUNTRY to give them tax breaks?
