BIG OIL

DennisH I agree, in my past with other companies I have seen the same thing.... I am really trying to understand why so many are bitter at the oil execs, is it because they have more than you? Is it fair that they are living the life of luxury and you are not, absolutely not, but is it illegal no....... What is an acceptable profit margin for a company, if you had to make the decision on when enough is enough what would it be... I just don't get it... If we dont like it then why do we allow it to happen........ Are we a society that is so victimized that we have forgotten how to stop supporting what we dont agree with? Are we a country that lazy that we disagree with it and its not fair but not unfair enough that we would stop using gas or cell phones? What is the limit? I have worked through the ranks of management and I am somewhere above middle management but not executive level.. I constantly work to improve the lives of my employees and make sure that they are treated fairly. Because I make a substantial number more than they do does that mean that I should give cash handouts to them for gas money? What is the limit? How much is OK to make in America? Should the government step in and put a cap on executive salaries? Someone owns the Oil companies, share holders? private owner? they all work for you..............

The government has stepped in in the past and broken up big oil companies. This should probably be re-visited. By acting in unison, they are in effect a monopoly.

Instead of using all those huge profits to build more refineries, they just pocket the big bucks. There is no motivation to build more refining capacity, if you can just double the amount you charge for the same output.
 
The oil companies would love to build refineries, the GOVERNMENT will not allow them to do so..... Bush has just approved a measure that would create new refineries.... Thank you EPA
 
Everyones right and wrong As far as CEO and there money have you seen the first one volunteer a paycut for any companies having problems NO just look at the airlines, they keep their 10,000,000 dollar salary instead of giving a few million back, they just demand paycuts from employees,take them from say$60,000 to $55,000 and as far as stockholders have you ever seen the first vote on what to pay the executives, I have some stocks and I NEVER HAVE so that is not our decision. (?) so anyone take up for them is wrong, 123,000 Oil co. employees you can say what you want that don't help the economy that much, thats like saying amarillo is supporting the whole country DOESN'T HAPPEN. I agree with the EPA crap they haven't let anyone build any refineries, Politics are gonna do what whoever pays the most says, oil company is big money so they aren't gonna do anything until election time to try to make an empression. its their little game, rates right now are a joke diesel is a cheap by product b4 the gasoline so having it at 3.30 and gas at 2.25 is just oil co. doing what they do best Fuggin the people. and as far as americans doing something about it, most americans have developed the {I syndrome} everything is about me, while there is the select few anymore that beleive in togetherness , most beleive in leave me alone I don't care,It doesn't concern ME, I am right you are wrong, whatever is best for Me fug YOU, mentality, Point being I can go into a truckstop and ask what time it is, and people will almost come to blows over what time it is, how are people able to fix anything if they can't even get along over a simple question such as what time is it?
 
Hate to piss anyone off, but fugg it!!! And some of ya'lls boy George "W" is gonna benefit just as well. He's probably laughing just as loud as the rest...
