Well ColtonGang I see you like the old rate of change indicator and compare it with a change indicator to make your BIG point. 23.3 percent. let's proffer an example. Ok profit went from 1% to 1.233% That's a 23.3 percent "profits ballooned " But gee that 7.7 / 1.3 or HUGE 592 % increase in taxes vs profit. Now I also see you took the time to post all those numbers but you did not post what the taxes paid were. you also don't show payroll taxes paid. You seem to have a bias of presenting facts that distort the truth. Is this stupidity, ignorance or a deliberate attempt do deceive or what I call a lie. This is how and Engineer dissects information. Is the above how a doctor presents information. What should I give you credit for with all your credentials and record. whom ever ColtonGang is. Stupidity, ignorance or a deliberate attempt do deceive or what I call a lie. by the way the above analysis is why you and those like you stick to one liners in the presence of those who think on this thread. tom watson tosiwmee

If a company makes a profit and pays a dividend, it gets taxed 2 times. your o so objective without source analysis is very selective. It ignores expenses, depreciation etc. Just Picking at randoM, if you look at a 10k from Tenneco, you will find that the sh!t you posted is also false. The total tax liability, if they paid at the 35% rate, would have been $384m. Even If you calculate it based on their income before expense, it would be $711m. They cheated ? better call the IRS, I am sure they want to know about all law breakers. Know your facts alright.
