WTI CRUDE

Apple posted good numbers and they are heavyweights in the "average".

Also it isn't really a good indication of the economy at large. nearly 90% of stocks are owned by the top 10%
What percentage of all income taxes paid into the government comes from the top 10% earners?
Hint, it is over 70%
 
The top 1% owns 30.5% of the assets in the USA, but only pays 2.1% of the payroll taxes.

I've always thought it fascinating how Reichwingers so steadfastly defend the uber wealthy and are appalled at the idea of them paying more taxes. Many corporations use loopholes and legal dodges to avoid taxes altogether. Why on Earth RWers think that's just fine is beyond me. They're sure been brainwashed.

That is about the size of things.
 
The only "jobs" these mega-zillionaires are creating are for their accountants, brokers, lawyers, and servants. But the idiots on the right have been told we mustn't tax them because then they won't create jobs. :rolleyes:
According to this 88 of the top companies paid no taxes last year.

Thanks.

Hey MAGATs, why doesn't this bother you? Why are YOU paying taxes but not these mega-zillionaires?
 
Brent crude is $114.44 at closing.
Don't care. This thread is about WTI Crude.
WTI $104.53
$103.3 as of the moment of this typing.
And the strait is still closed.
The Strait has NEVER been closed. It has ALWAYS been open.
It is only closed within people's minds. All that is needed is for mariners and insurance companies to break out of their fear of imaginary mines and sail through the damn thing.
Not going down any time soon.
Will be down within months if the fear mongering would end this month.

"Your stupid war caused Iran to block the Strait so we can't get through it."
"WTF do you mean? I've destroyed their navy."
"but... but they might shoot a missile or a drone or even a bottle rocket."
"Ummm, I've destroyed their missile and drone capabilities, and there's no need to fear a bottle rocket."
"but... but they might lay mines?"
"Fine. Here's a blockade to show that we're completely in control of the Strait."
--days later--
"See? You can just sail right through the Strait now. Easy peasy."
"but... but there might be some super secret mines that nobody has found yet, and some super secret missiles that might attack us."
"OMG... what the fuck is it going to take for you to get over yourselves and start sailing through the damn Strait again?"
"Allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. Pay Iran a bunch of money. Allow unfettered Iranian immigration into the USA."
"Fuck you." "Marco?! You now have another job. International shipping magnate."
