Americans getting 'ripped off'!
Latest reports of oil company profits have just been released.
Let's take a look.
Today the British energy giant BP reported third quater profits up by 75%!
And tomorrow, analysts expect Exxon Mobil Corp. to show that it earned nearly $9 billion over the past three months -- the largest corporate quarterly profit ever.
Chevron predicts the company will hit about $4.3 billion for this year's third quarter, an increase of 74% !
But, the real example of corporate 'greed' in this shining portrayal of unregulated (or barely regulated) thievery and deception by these industry giants is ConocoPhillips, the nation's third-largest integrated oil and gas company, who said Wednesday its third-quarter profit surged 89 percent !
Hey Mr. Bush......................ever heard of a 'wind fall profits tax'?? I reckon not, huh? Sure don't wanta upset those in the 'base' of $$$$$$ donors to your campaign and former 'employers', right?
