Exxon Mobil: The Root of all Evil?

Geodubyalozer- if Exxon paid 29 B$ and had profits of $40 B$ I would say they are well ahead of Joe Six pack in the taxes area. not mentioned is the billions of $$ Exxon paid in royalties and rentals. To answer your next question, no I do not work for Exxon, don't own their stock, don't buy their gasoline and don't particularily like them. I do work for a small independent producer and have competed with them for 27 years. They are a well run American company succeeding in a difficult environment and business. That is a good thing.

Exxon Mobil: The Root of all Evil?

Spot on. Since when is making a profit a bad thing? We cannot all work for the government. Our US oil companies are not the bad guys. Our lack of an energy policy, NIMBY attitude and spineless politicians are to blame!!
