“Conclusion: In other words, just one corporation (Exxon Mobil) pays as much in taxes ($27 billion) annually as the entire bottom 50% of individual taxpayers, which is 65,000,000 people!”

So why do people with no income, assets, land, titles or oil wells get to vote?

And Exxon does not get to vote, even though they paid over and over for the right?

I personally am not going to cry over a company paying taxes that earn 81 billion in profits. However, if you can talk the fat cats running this government to reduce my taxes say...90 percent, I'll have no problem with Exxon getting a tax reduction too. Seems the ever growing government is the big winner here, without having to produce anything, yet they rake in billions in taxes. Then we've got the CIC going to Africa and the rest of the world, giving those billions away.

Amazing.

It’s 100,000 plus employees and thousands of shareholders get to vote. I would bet also that in addition to many thousand of individual shareholders, the vast majority of large cap and pension funds with investments in large oil and gas companies have thousands more with a stake.
