Keep building the wall taller, bigger? Or take advantage of what we can't change:

I like this article. I saw one earlier this week right before tax day about how Exxon didn't pay taxes at all in 2009 and won't probably have to pay in 2010 either. They earned I think around 30 billion plus dollars. You wonder why in the hell would they not have to pay taxes here; what a bunch of ***holes. Someone pointed out though that they payed I think around 15.3 billion dollars in foreign taxes. I don't know if this is true for GE but I found it interesting that they left this bit of information out of the other article. There are always two sides keep informed.
Disclaimer: I am a progressive liberal minded person, with strong beliefs on social justice, and government programs. It pisses me off that this injustice can occur but I still hold some faith in big business that they need these tax write offs to stay alive. Just throwing something out there.
