I see that leftists continue to use nominal amounts like “$15 Billion in profit” to describe the profits of some of the largest corporations in the world, as if these words mean anything without looking at the asset size needed to make that money. They did the same thing with Exxon, calling it the most profitable company in the world. They conveniently didn’t mention their profit margin, which is tiny. For Exxon and Walmart to make their profit, they have had to use some of the largest amounts invested in the world, and these leftists want a piece of it!

Wait a minute! When I scrimp and save so I can buy a share of Wal-Mart or Exxon, I want to make money, too. I suppose I’m one of those greedy rich people who owns a few shares of stock. Maybe I should vote for those companies to pay no dividends in the interest of fairness.
