Re: culture crisis
You know what I don't understand? People like Ed, my aunt's former husband, apply for and receive SS Disability with no problem at all. The reason? Alcoholism. While at the same time, his son-in-law who is 45 years old and had a virus attack his heart, leaving him not only totally unable to work, but most of the time even unable to walk from his bedroom to his living room without needing a nap, but he has been denied disability over and over and over and over.
What kind of a system do we have anyway????

How much income tax did Exon-Mobil pay in 2009?

Try to muster some pity for Big Oil. ExxonMobil ( XOM - news - people ) in its 2009 annual report to the SEC, recorded a larger income tax expense than any other U.S. company last year, some $17.6 billion, or 47% of pretax earnings.
Pay attention light
I don't use reports from your leftist vulgar news sources
Exxon doesn't lie to the SEC
The tax return for 2010 is not due until March 15
Don't get all huffy when I show you where and how i find actual reports.
Uneducated people don't know that if Exxon loses money in america and makes money elswhere, the income in america is taxed in America. The Arabs do nkot tax on american income.
GE the darling of the Libs got 65 billion in subsidies from GE Credit.

Forbes can explain some of it but it is far over your head. Exxon and Mobil have separately been clients of my company since 1981.

The "new" cell phone doesn't say much. There's cheap new cell phones and expensive new cell phones. Either way, the one time cost of the cell phone isn't what's important it's the monthly fee which can be as cheap as 30 dollars for unlimited minutes (smarttalk from walmart i think is the name). As far as the tattoes? Maybe she saved up for them all. As far as the clothes... maybe she bought them from the goodwill or a yardsale or maybe Ross.
Anyways, the bottom line is this: Republicans act like if anyone has a few nice things or things they want or even a few vices that a finger shouldn't be lifted to help those people.

Are you saying the Democrats think no matter how much wealth is acquired by an individual the state should still pay their bills?

Good Lord woman you moan and groan about individuals yet you are fine with corporate welfare. Give me a break. Why don't you post about the wealthy who are getting a free ride.

The wealthy get a free ride? They have to pay taxes too
BTW a corporation should not be squeezed for money IMO. Those taxes are just passed onto the consumer. We should do what we can to help companies hire more people, keep the jobs inside our borders and export goods
