[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by greyhounds [brIllinois government is corrupt. I've lived here all my life except for the two years I was in the Army. This is no different than organized crime extracting an ever increasing payment for "protection" from merchants. [/quote] Must Live in chicago, we all know how corrupt that is, the rest of the sate isn't corrupt. but alas, Chicago is where we end up getting our down staters from. Anyways, back to topic, that was $1.585 Billion Net Income, meaning it was after paying all the bills, taxes (yes corporations have taxes they have to pay), Dividends, contruction and aaquisitions. that is their personal take homepay (in terms the average person can understand) that is what is in their bank at the end of the year. Now they may take that and use it the next year to offset losses or to further construction, but the result is the same they have a very big Bankaccount that $40 million would be like me taking a dollar out of my checking account. it's almost insignificant. to them. Yes 40-50% of that $74 will be put onto Shortlines, but there are far more than 4 shortlines running, so the cost to a single one would be alot lower than what the big 4 would pay. Democrates believe in a trickle up system, republican's believe in a trickle down. Jay
