I believe it' the way the spin was put on the story. If the media had announced FIRST that Exxon has paid more than $30 billion dollars in taxes--and only received $11 billion in profit, it wouldn't have had the same impact. Thanks for stopping by and posting your comment. Trudy,

For whatever reason, that is being swept under the rug. Why is no one mentioning that yes, Exxon earned 11.63 billion in 2007 – they also paid 32 billion in taxes.
