Sad Day in New Bern and All Hatteras Owners

[labrador]

Dr. Jim, you seem to think big oil gets windfall profits without taxation? Yes they have record profits with Exxon Mobil making $1100.00 per second. However did you know thats after they pay the good old USA $4000.00 per second in taxes!!! Yes thats right $4000.00 per second in taxes. That doesn't count the 18.5 cents federal and in my state 30 cents per gallon taxes collected. A 7% net profit is what they make!!! Compare that to Microsoft, 35% and you'll see that windfall profits are a bunch of bull@%*#!!!!!! The only windfall profittaker is uncle Sam who doesn't produce a thing!!!!!

I wish all big American corporations could make huge profits. Wouldn't that be great. Then they could hire more people, pay them more, build new plants, etc, etc. When did profit become a dirty word?

When liberal politicians learned they could buy votes with other peoples money. If you think about it it's pretty clever. Having a tough time making ends meet? Just vote for me and I'll give you Sky's money.

I almost fell for his humor...... But he's kinda like "freebird". Likes to stir things up a lot.... I learned a while back to read his entire rants... He's actually very good at it....

Also notice he is NOT a Hatteras owner.... Am guessing he's not tall enuff to see over the steering wheel...

LOL Krush, do the investment 401K thingy for awhile first. It pays off.

Yeah right. Lots of suckers right now in 401k's. I put in enough to get my match, but not a penny more. The choices I got ain't so hot, but there is one that does some bonds/cash that has done about 0.4% average the 1-2 years. Can't really complain about that.
