I read somewhere that ExxonMobil pays more taxes than the bottom 50% of all taxpayers in the United States. Why won’t pols discuss that?

Because the obvious story line for most news stations is to report on ExxonMobil as being what it is that is wrong with the country instead of reporting on it being the success story that it is.

Isnt it funny how the leftwing wants to grow government programs but then lashes out against those who have been the most successful at financing government programs.

Considering the bottom 40% pay virtually nothing, there is a good chance the you pay more taxes than 50% of the population.
