Replying to: larsb (Feb 02, 2007 11:56 am) Get it straight." Additional info not generally found in the mass media: The $39.5 Billion in net profit was on total revenues of $377.6 Billion (profit margin of 10.4%). Total taxes paid by ExxonMobile in 2006: $100.6 Billion btw - the net income of $39.5 Billion for all of 2006 included a special $0.41 Billion tax related benefit (this would be the reverse socialism that is occasionally mentioned in here). So, without that tax-related benefit, ExxonMobile WOULD have paid a nice even $101 Billion in taxes in 2006 instead of the paltry $100.6 Billion. http://library.corporate-ir.net/library/11/115/115024/items/229203/xom_020107rel- ease.pdf Draw your own conclusions. |

Replying to: rorr (Feb 02, 2007 2:47 pm) From the sounds of your post you seem very interested in the profit, taxes, etc., but what you failed to mention was several other factors. The tax credits, etc for example must also be in the billions if what you stated in your post is true. I kind of doubt it, but I will give you the benefit of doubt since you seem to have so much time on your hands to go through all the trouble of even posting a web site. I did not check it out and do not plan on it. I do not need to read some corporate garbage placed on an Internet library to know that every time I fill up my tank that I'm being ripped off. If it's from the market price or as I said in my post from the oil companies it doesn't really matter it's all the same, gouging on something that the American people need to use daily in their lives. Please to the person who is trying to either confuse the issue by comparing the profit of a home to the profit the oil companies made, your way off. Or quit possible you just did not give it much thought prior to posting your ramblings. Fuel is something that millions of people, businesses, etc use every day. A house is something that we all live in if we are fortunate enough to be able to afford one. The profit made from a 1-time sale of a house and the continuous every day profit that the oil companies make it like comparing apples and oranges.

I still don't understand why here in Delaware 87 is $2.07, 93 is $2.45 at BP and 87 is $2.05 and 93 is$2.38? The difference here for 87 and 93 is between $0.33-$0.45. Is it demand for 93 here is more than any parts of the country? |
