Look at the profit margin. For Exxon and Walmart, it’s like 8% and 2.5% respectively; for Apple (AAPL), it is like 58%.

Make up stuff much? Apple's 10-Q for the quarter being reported puts it's aggregate profit margin before taxes at 39.1% and their tax rate is 26.3% on that. Microsoft used to report an approximate 60% margin. . . but then they only sold software then.

My mistake, bro, but, I’d hope we’re on the same side here...my POINT is that the LIBERALS, hopefully you are NOT one always complain about company profit margins, but you won’t hear them complain about their baby, AAPL. Stop accusing, sometimes mistakes are INNOCENT.
