Oil Co. Posting Record Profits
Looks like all the oil co's are posting record profits and even makin Fortune 500 top 10 lists. Talk about price gouging!! If the price of oil determines the gas price,we must of missed something as a consumer and not a stockholder. Hey, I'm all for makin a buck in the market but record profits in that industry while the rest of the country is takin in the shorts and using OPEC as an escape goat is just plain un-American. OR IS IT!!!! What are we going to do change are lifestyle? HELL NO..JUST BLOWIN SOME STEAM GUYS.....I dont mine payin it if it's justified,but being used is what I hate.......

Exxon Mobil
2002 profit $11.5 billion
2003 profit $21.5 billion
87% increase in profits in 1 year
not to say they are the only ones..it was just right in front of me, but i don't think they're hurtin for cash
I'm a capitalist in every sense of the word, but I don't see much capitalism going on with gas prices, its like insurance and taxes, its more like rape than business.

And just think, all those wonderful minds in DC can't quite figure out why the economy is in the state it's in. A 20 lb. bag of dog food just went from $ 15.29 to
$ 16.99 overnight. Everything is going up. Every single thing in our lives, in one manner or another has to be shipped. Some items, or aspects of some items, get shipped ten times, with ten different and higher fuel costs. There is no reason on the planet Earth that gas isn't in the dollar a gallon range, except for the sheer greed of the oil companies, and at the expense of the American citizens.
