I don't know how much they pay in taxes, but I'm sure it's still quite significant... don't forget taxes on gas they sell, taxes that people pay on dividends they receive, and 10 other taxes that they pay either directly or indirectly... plus lets not forget the 1000s of jobs that they provide... I'm sure it all adds up to billions and billions of $$ for US government coffers...
