your right republicans would want players to pay buckets of hundreds for there entry fee then pay them buckets of pennies for winning.

Atleast the Republicans would pay something. The Democrats would take the entry fees, take a large cut, and give the rest to people who are less wealthy than yourself.
so if they gave the rest to bill gates or exon mobile all would be good.
Well, this post gets my award for the stupidest post I have ever seen on AZB. Must be your contribution to the dumbing down of America. Geeesh.
I am a CPA, so I am into this kinda stuff:
They paid over $15billion in taxes to foreign countries, as a us corporation they get a tax credit against their federal income tax. They paid almost $8billion in U.S. taxes other than income taxes.
The NY Times (or any newspaper) is not a good source for this info. If you take the time to look, it's all in the financials that are required to be filed with the SEC as a public company.
That's about what I figured. Facts don't ever seem to concern the right.
But just to satisfy my curiosity, since you dismiss the income tax data offered by the New York Times--despite the fact the rest of the world recognizes it as among the very most responsible and accurate news outlets--I wonder if you would mind sharing your trusted news sources with me?
Just so you know, Exxon made 19b in profit last year (CNN)--the highest corporate earnings in the history of the world. And what did they pay in income taxes to the US Government (us!)? Well, it seems they got a 156m CREDIT. So, instead of paying no income taxes whatsoever on 19b dollars in net profit, they got a welfare check of 156m. Pretty cool, eh?
I know you don't have the guts nor wherewithal to actually debate that which you have no clue, but I really am interested in learning your "trusted" new sites.

As a CPA I read finanancial statements for that sorta info, as that is the actual source. Just about all newspapers are rags. I read em, but the most factual part is the sports page & the classifides.
hmmm
Dude, get a grip. Everyone knows, and even the NY Times does not run from the fact it is owned, run and written by liberals. This is not breaking news to anyone other than yourself. So, you believe them to completely fair and impartial in stories that affect areas of "other" type of politians or corporations that make a profit ??
They ONLY back liberal democrats. Heck, they even backed Mondale against Reagan. Geez !! Reagan wiped the floor with Mondale and won every single state except MN, which is Mondales' home state, and he almost lost it...it was a toss up. 49-1, was a royal drubbing. And that is the NYTmes right to back whoever they want to, but being a news organziation and being so blatantly hostile to businesses and conservatives certainly does not make them fair or credible in my opinion.
They have an agenda and they don't hide that fact. That is fine for my liberal friends, but not fine when it comes to a news organization where I need info, and not facts completely omitted because it might "hurt" their cause, and go against their own arguments. So, if you are taking their work for FACT, then there is really no chance to continue an argument here. And if Exxon did not pay any taxes, please, pretty please with sugar on it, tell me why your boy Obama did not change that tax loop hole?? His changed everything else (for the worse I might add) but wants to let Exxon skate on a enough dollars to run some third world countires.??

How about we take some of it and make the worlds greatest booty shaking video?
hmmmm
Seems very logical versus those who thinkg they did NOT pay a dime in taxes. I guess I really should throw the Brooklyn Bridge on Ebay one of these days and get paid off !!!

Because as you will know after doing some research and learning something the the Republicans (Backed by BIG BUSINESS) refused to let this happen to there friends.
That's strong, how do you match up against that?
I'm still waiting for you to provide your preferred source of news and information.
Your diatribe condemning the NY Times is pretty funny. Who are you quoting, Blimpo, Hannity or Beck? Maybe you should actually read the NY Times someday so you had some idea (your own idea!) what you are talking about.

whats so funny, that they are owned and operated by liberals ? Check They only employ like minded individuals to write for them? Check
They ONLY support democrat candidates for congress and the presidency? Check. Biased against any and all conservative causes? Check
Again, this is not a secret, this is not denied from the Times.
This biased all started in the 30's and has not changed. A reporter for the Times went to Stalin's Soviet Union, during the Ukrainian famine that killed millions, he told his readers that quote, "Any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda. He called the Soviet Union a Utopia !!
A Utopia !!! LMAO
God forbid they reported the truth to tell the USA that the Soviet system was a failure and not working, and that capitalism works much better. No, instead of the truth, they had to "change" the facts to fit into their own little ideology of the the far left. I mean, pretty sad. Make your argument, but to lie in order to win the argument is just sad.
This has been going on for decades at that sad little paper. Yeah, it's popular and most likely making money, but they are selling papers to one segment of the population, the liberals.
If you have missed this much about the "famed" NY Times, you might just think about doing at least a little homework first, I mean, more than a NY Times reporter at least......
You can argue against any conservative causes, but using the NY Times as a basis is a lost cause.

Hmmm
Oh really? When Obama controlled both the House and the Senate during his first two years, the Republicans stopped it ?? LMAO.
The GOP didn't stop much until they got control of the House back, 2 years after Obama took office. And finally could stop Obama from making any more mistakes. And the GOP just road rough shod over this rookie in negotations in regards to the debt ceiling. Obama got outplayed and badly.
The GOP can give Obama the 6 ball any day of the week. But I really didn't expect much from a Chicago politician who was part of the Democratic Machine that RUINED Illinois. And his main boys from Illinois are now either in jail or in custody. Now that is freaking funny stuff !!!

You're so in the dark that it's downright sad. Republicans are the world champs when it comes to sucking on the government tit.
Also, PERSONS work and pay, THINGS don't.
Add in all the employees taxes paid, too, for a more honest take on it.
Maybe both sides fudge the numbers in govt and in pool?
