Funny (in a sad way) is they whine and blame Bush when jobs leave America or a company fails and has to fire all its employee's. Then they Whine when a company is a success and provides jobs for Americans.
No pleasing the Whiners.
I see it another way, I guess conservatives are glad the working man/taxpayer is giving part of his salary away to those corporations via tax breaks etc. with no guarantees on a return for that money. I don't see that as 'getting even'. I believe Otimer has a valid point- as long as those conglomerates can keep making the multi mega bucks do you think they will get in a hurry to find cheaper alternative energy sources?? I know they pay taxes but if they can afford to pay those taxes with the huge profits they've earned certainly they don't need any of my money do they? I don't get any of theirs when I pay mine. I guess everything is just like it ought to be for some of you who call yourselves conservatives.
Blame Bush for when a company leaves America?? No, I only blame this administration for keeping on giving them the taxpayer's money. They have the best of both worlds, our money to help set up in foreign country and that country's cheap labor. What more could you ask for?? Some of the candidates proposed only giving significant tax breaks to those companies starting up in America. I guess conservatives would be against that idea also.
If the oil companies pay record taxes in the government exactly what are these tax breaks they are getting? Please clarify exactly what oil companies are getting a break on. I would bet very few companies pay as much in taxes as they do. You make it out like they are paying no taxes and getting rebates out of the tax money you pay in?
Also do you agree that Farmers or Ranchers get tax breaks? Should a farmer get a property tax break? Or should they get any subsidies of any kind.
Exxon paid $30,000,000,000 in taxes in 2007 that is 30 billion dollars and in 2006 they paid in $28,000,000,000 in taxes, that is 28 billion dollars. Now tell me just how much of your tax dollars do you think Exxon got? :roll:
If they are getting a tax break good for them, any company that pays in almost 60 billion dollars in taxes in two years has did their part to supporting the infrastructure of the U.S. How much did you do to keep America ticking? Can you imagine how many other dollars they have contributed toward matching their employee's Social Security payments, how much they paid in to unemployment system, how much personal tax dollars were paid in by their employees paying their income tax on good paying jobs?
The personal income, wealth and tax revenue generated by this one single company is unimaginable! They generate 100's of Billions of dollars into our economy providing people with a product that they can not get enough of. What have you did lately for America's economy?
