feel bad 4 them

What???? Who are we to say how much that Exxon should be happy with. The shareholders, which included loads of retirement funds for teachers and unions, depend on those profits. I'll bet they will tell you that more is better. Exxon also paid Billions (yes with a "B") in income taxes. A certain female presidential hopeful wants to take the profits from the shareholders and do something else with the money. Do you agree with that? Yeah take away that profit or ad "windfall taxes" and see how much you'll be paying for gas. Anyway, the profit margin on the gasoline that they sell is around 10%. Banking runs about 16%. I don't hear any complaining about that.

so I guess we could bring gas prices back down aorund $1.50 a gallon and they can just be happy making $10 billion a year. Just my 2 cents. But that will never happen, so just fill them up and have fun.

It's hard to fathom how much of a profit that is. Just makes it kind of hard to understand things from their perspective. How much money do the top exec's really need?
Wish the would share those profits!

I don't know about everyone else but don't you feel bad for exxon they only had a record breaking profit year for the second year in a row. They only made 39.5 billion, and said they would have made more but fourth quater prices were down for gasoline, and nautral gas.

But remember your not being screwed at the pump by the gas company or the government.

Hope nobody works for them, if so I am sorry for my rant.
