Drum roll please.....
Exxon gets it again with a profit of $14.8 billion. Thanks to us for paying the terribly, falsely inflated price.

If you ever wonder who is REALLY running the show...it's the people that own Exxon, Mobile and any other huge company that makes $10 billion a year or more.

People with money have power, people with TONS of money have TONS of power. Exxon and the other oil companies have TONS and TONS of both.... THEY are running the planet, Not Obama, or Bush or Putin or Sarkozy. These men all must answer to the Gods of the Petroleum realm.

It's the same old story that goes all the way back to the Pharoahs...he who controls the most precious commodity wins. The Pharoahs loved their gold and it made them powerful. Todays "Pharoahs" love their oil, it makes them powerful as well.

As long as we worship the false idol PETROLEUM we will be slaves...just like the Nubians were...slaves to the gold mines in their own land that was run by the Pharoahs. Just as we are slaves to the oil companies.

	It's not just the oil companies that are gouging us. It's the dealers also. Yesterday a customer that owns a large trucking company told me he just filled his tanks with on-road diesel fuel for $2.62 a gallon. The stations around here are selling it for $3.28 to $3.59. This can only be done to keep the price of home heating oil high, too. Makes you want to go postal doesn't it?

	exxon didn't profit that much. Otherwise, it would have been a great stock choice to invest in (it wasn't). As it turns out, they simply raised prices so they can stay in business. Had they kept their prices low, they would have gone bankrupt and we would have fewer oil companies gaining a higher monopoly over the oil industry. Imagine 15 dollar a gallon prices.

	So tell me Detach, if they didn't profit this amount, why in the sam hell would they say they did???? Perhaps they just wanted to pay taxes on money they didn't make Wolf

	Drum roll please..... Exxon gets it again with a profit of $14.8 billion. Please tell us how much the federal government made off of Exxon and the consumers from petro-products. .

	hmmm ... .08 = 14,800,000 ... = .182 = g this means the federal government got 33,670,000 ..... wonder what they did with all that money and the states got anywhere from .05 cents per gallon to 32 cents per gallon here in Wisconsin the state of Illinois also gets county, city, and local (allowable to 5 cents each per each gallon) ... making chicago residents pay 62 cents to Exxon's 8 now ... how about offering up some realistic solutions instead of complaining as you would not if you owned their stock

	When gas went over $4 a gallon I implimented my own rebate. I quit driving to town twice a week and rode my bike instead. Rode my motorcycle in place of my car as much as possible and made sure I combined as many possible chores I could into each trip. Even when gas was the highest, traffic into town was just as busy and the buses were just as empty. There was no parking places to be had in town and always a line up at the pumps at all the gas stations. As far as I could tell...I was the only one that wasn't putting up with the gas price and was actually changing my habits. Saved money, polluted slightly less, got some exercise. Screw Exxon! I wouldn't own their stock anyway, they still haven't finished cleaning up the mess they made in Alaska. I hardly think they pay any where their fair share of taxes. and as far as the state getting a cut...pfff...our roads have holes that swallow semi trucks and the county park project I was working on lost it's funding so fast it was scary.
