Big Oil Companies

Oil Execs and Cheney Meeting

Wal-Mart

What is Exxon doing for America besides making us poorer?

I think even Bill Riley will agree with you on that!  It is sad that Bush gave up on Harriet Myers but then again she has no experience but also shows the EXTREME right nutty bunch rule our government these days!

Exxon Mobil Corp. rewrote the corporate record books
Thursday as the oil company's third-quarter earnings
soared to almost $10 billion and it became the first
public company ever with quarterly sales topping $100
billion. Anglo-Dutch competitor Royal Dutch Shell PLC
wasn't far behind, posting a profit of $9 billion for
the quarter.

Those results led Democrats in Congress to demand a new windfall profits tax. "Big oil behemoths are making out like bandits, while the average American family is getting killed by high gas prices, and soon-to-be record heating oil prices," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement.

But Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman said President Bush
opposes such a move and is instead considering a wide
range of proposals to help cushion consumers, including the creation of an emergency reserve of gasoline and other refined products.

How in the world do you come up with the idea that America is more socialist? You Really need to expose yourself to something other than AMERICA ONLY THINKING. There is a big wide world out there with billions of other people. They speak other languages, they are creative and have solved problems we have refused to accept as problems.

Just a suggestion.

India and China and other parts of Asia are bringing 3 Billion new capitalist to the world stage and that frightens the hell out of me.
I think we have proven how destructive a few million can be. No everyone can live like we do. The Western influence will eat up their individual cultures and make them all think and consume like we do. SCARY.

We are no different than ROME. We have eaten up our resources and need to search far and wide and with much expense to gain more. They will become the new empires and eat up the remaining resources.
We will fade away like ROME.

How can we be spending more on our military than all the other countries combined and call ourselves a peaceful and advanced Nation? That is irresponsible and insane. Thomas Jefferson said Life should be for the LIVING. But yet we pass down our debt and our environmental destruction to future generations like it was of no consequence. We instead support the idea that life is for the DEAD.

We can't compete with an Indian worker getting $5,000 US dollars a year with an American needing $50,000.
We will have a Third World Nation right here inside our borders.

The oil companies reported 288 Billion in profits this summer. That is 12 million dollars a minute over a two week period.
That is GROSS CAPITALISM. They get government tax payer subsidies and still get record profits. That's BUSH's Energy Plan? Thats the opposite of any idea of free market.
You actually support this kind of gross market manipulation???

These companies give 80% of their political contributions to Republicans.
The private sector has used campaign contributions to get the politicians addicted and sucking at their teats.
We should cut it all off now. NO MORE CONTRIBUTIONS, ITS CORRUPTED.

Where is the accountability and integrity???
Not in this Admin obviously. Who is looking out for the common man?? NOT this Admin.

More and more jobs are going overseas cause the CEO's and stockholders only care about 
economic growth and not sustainable economic and environmental development.
Patriotism is a glossy facade. They go where the cheap labor and unregulated resources are.

Pension plans are being destroyed by companies who have not put back the money necessary to fulfill their promises to their employees. The government restricts citizens from claiming bankruptcy but allow corporations to 
scamper away without fulfilling their debts.

This government has not been about the people or for the people in many many years.

And your candidate of choice has bankrupt us  while giving his buddies gobs of cash and not holding them accountable.
They are truly a gross bunch of human beings.

Part of the screwed up liberal village.

REPUBLICAN VIEW:
I'll try to over-simplify in a few words.  everyone I have got to know from work and play from foreign countries tells the story of America & this email bunch, the democrats, the liberals, have forgot, are not too bright, or just don't care.  1)    When something is successful in a foreign country --communist, dictator, king, socialist, whatever --- the government steps in & takes it away from those who have made it successful.  That is socialism, is the mildest name that I can put on it.   You take your money & invest in something & then you start having some room to talk.

2)    You penalize Exxon & guess what:  the US will produce less energy and import more ---raising costs for everybody and sending up the national debt.

3)    America liberals and democrats will eventually see blackouts of oil & gas -- such as natl gas & people will be screaming where is our energy just as they did when gas jumped to $3.  The way has to be clear to develop Alaska, coastal areas, build nuclear, develop solar, build refineries, etc.  The technology is there today to do it environmentally right.

True, but spit on by people buying the liberal media crap.  and I will agree the repubs are not too much further along in smarts to fix something; but they are not out there everyday running for prez like Hillary with a stupid press release to show all she is on top of it.

Kennedy and the democrats:  grab the money from big oil and give to the poor -- wow, that really solves the energy problem  -- what a moron.

Interesting times when the democrats and the media were quoting Rush Limbaugh to point out Myers was probably not the best choice.

Also, foreign countries are becoming more capitalistic as the US becomes more socialist.  Which is exactly why they are kicking us on energy and economy.  The upside of that is less reason to blow us up -- we work for them.  Except wal-mart, everybody works for wal-mart!  ha!

Linda,
The great seer of truth,

Reply to Republican View:
FIRST of all there is NO liberal media. It is right
wing mostly religious right figures controlling our
media.

2nd of all - Exxon is a embarrassment to America. They
are making record income but not innovating and not
doing any good for our country.  Even Jim Cramer cant
believe how Exxon is such a waste. Exxon has not even
paid for its mess in Alaska from years ago. IF they
are making so much money we should force them to come
up with better ways of improving our economy and
Putting more money in innovation and new technology to
Improve our way of life in America related to oil and
Alternative energy.

3rd - I do not think money should be handed out to
anyone unless there is a natural disaster or people
are getting their social security in return for
working hard for years. 

And I repeat there is NO liberal media. Turn on your
radio in Texas and see if you find a liberal talk
show compared to the several talk shows that are anti
liberal when there are no real liberals in office
right now to fuss about. Conservatives are bitching at
someone that isn’t even there, they are looking like
fools.
