All you will hear today is how Exxon made $10,5 billion in profits in the 3rd quarter of 2008

Lord Obama will tell you that is to much money, and how we will take those profits and give it away to the "poor" and middle class

But what you will not hear is that Exxon paid $7.7 billion in taxes in the 3rd quarter. So far in 2008, Exxon has paid $22.6 billion in taxes. Yet to liberals that is not enough
