35 Billion in profits and not a penny in US income taxes. It seems more than a little bit idiotic to be pre-occupied with the 43% of Americans who didn't pay income taxes when you've got Exxon not paying any at all on literally billions in profits.

On a side note...my stocks in Exxon are doing awesome! lol ;)
Hey, thank CBC and the Canadians for catching that one...unfortunately Canadian audiences like me are now glued to US media too and missed that report!
