Default 2.2 million without power, in the northeast

Worded differently, Exxon charged an extra $43 billion
to/from its customers, and remitted that money to the Fed.

BTW CNN reported that Exxon, everyones favorite target, paid

$43
billion last year in US taxes



lets look at a small but specific example of the tax code that some of us
might be familiar with...

why can a high level ceo that has a company limo take pick him up and take
him to /from work deduct the cost of the limo and the driver and the gas and
the maintenance.....

but

an ordinary working stiff CANNOT deduct commuting costs.

why is that fair?

this is just a small but specific example of how the rules of the game are
slanted to help the very rich get richer...
