Speaker Pelosi

I took a quick look at opensecrets.org a moment ago after reading why me's post. The largest donor to Speaker Pelosi's war chest is Amgen. Amgen is a biotechnology company situated out in California. Based on a quick review of their profitablity stats, I found that their profit margin was 21.43% last year. As for the evil XOM, their profit margin was only 10.89%. I love when politicians kick the easy target. Any thing closer to home, would have been bad for her pocketbook.

Oh now you're confusing the sheep when you start talking about profit margins. Come on, nobody understands that but Neal Boortz!
Profit Margin = Income/Revenue
Baaahh? Baaahh?
