I have compiled a list to demonstrate the depth in which American forced tax payers are taking up the you know what. On the left side is the ranking of total revenues for 2007, on the left is the total profit for the same year of companies who already have or are likely to benefit from 'bail outs'. Note! This is only from last year:
8th Citigroup 3.6 billion. 9th Bank of America Corp. 15 Billion. 11th Berkshire Hathaway 13.2 Billion. 12th J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. 15.4 Billion. 20th Goldman Sachs Group 11.6 billion. 21st Morgan Stanley 3.2 billion. 37th Lehman Brothers Holdings 4.2 Billion. 38th Wachovia Corp. 6.3 billion. 47th Pfizer 8.1 billion. 74th Prudential Financial 3.7 billion. 75th American Express 4 billion. 85th Aetna 1.8 billion.
