Oil bidniss

Run by oilmen

Like our country

Oilmen

Raping the populace to make the rich richer.

So ....... how's your healthcare?

Are your kids enjoying that government money given to schools for enrichment of children through the arts?

Hey, how about those veterans' benefits?

Good thing all our bridges are in good shape, huh?

Don't EVEN try to tell me that sort of OBSCENE fucking profit ought not be taxed. Don't EVEN try to tell me that.

How much of that will go to politicians to support Exxon's will?

I bet its less than 1/100 of 1%. Even oiltoadies can be bought dirt fucking (relatively) cheap.

Thirty nine billion, five hundred million dollars.

Incredible.

taking money from us and moving up the chain.

I'd like steak sauce on my helping of rich, thanks.

No more than Microsoft, Johnson and Johnson or Intel. They just have so muck more capital at work that their 17% return looks like alot more than some others.

They limit my profit to 10%. And sometimes they limit it to 5%. My profits are measured in scores of dollars, not billions.

I can't find it in my heart to weep for Exxon.

Afterall, it is the people's appetite for oil that is driving up demand, which, in turn, drives up the price, which, in turn, drives up the profits. Your anger is misdirected.

What do you mean?

feh ...... feigned innocence

for free. If they had to pay to secure oil fields like European companies, their profits would be remarkable different.

between american and european oil companies (around 10%). Compare Exxon w/ Royal Dutch Shell and you'll see.
