Remember in 2005 and 2006, when gas was $3.00 a gallon and people were crying that the oil companies made so much money?
http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=1029991
Exxon made 7.6 Billion dollars in the second quarter alone. Many people pointed to this and complained that, not only were gas prices high, but the companies were making racord profits at our expense!!
Right?
Well, did these people forget that Exxon is a PUBLIC COMPANY!
That's right, you can go online, and for about ten bucks you can buy a share of ExxonMobil's profits! YOUR MONEY can be making those record profits!
If you did, instead of wanting gas prices to go down, you would be wishing for them to go up, so you can make more money!!
No, I don't work for Exxon, but I am reminding you that the people making money off of this are not only "big, evil businessmen", but everyday people like you and me.
Upset the oil companies are making so much money? Quit whinint about it, and go make some money yourself!!!
