Interesting info there. Amazon has an non-traditional business model, keep prices low to crush the competition, but this means their profits are small as a percent of sales and taxes are low too. So are they considered a "good" company because they reduce prices for the consumer? Or bad because they contract out labor and don't pay enough to Washington to feed the beast?

Ok... I got the test results from Lady Jazzer on the above quiz... she flunked.

Isn't the answer that company that Obama's job's council advisor is CEO of? I can't remember the company but I know it rhymes with FREEBIE.

I'm still waiting for one of our 1%-bashing-tax-raising-financial-experts-285-liberals to jump in and explain this chart from the New York Times?

Pretty sure LJ only has a couple people left who are not on ignore (non-liberals)... the queen of excrement tossing is also a coward.

Well... Archer should at least make a appearance to explain this chart to us.

I suspect there won't be any more talk from the 285 lefties about who pays their fair share in taxes.

Oh PLEASE.....save me the gloating.....from my POV ALL oil companies should be paying thru the noses (in taxes)....Don't even get me
started on Exxon (I'm from Alaska).....the INADEQUATE oversight within these companies is absolutely appalling and BP's fubar in
the gulf is a graphic example of that LACK of oversight.....MAYBE if the product (gas/oil) had a price point similar to Europe we would
see a SWIFT turnaround for alternative options.....levy HEAVY taxes on each of them when oversight is lacking......and just maybe the
"accidents" would be minimal and NOT so catastrophic....JMO
