I love it when someone buys into the propoganda from the talking heads... I noticed that the latest "spin" is to point out that "normal people" own the oil companies in their retirement funds etc.

"Big oil" is more in reference to the fact that they are multi-billion dollar companies with million dollar lobyists to get billions of dollars in tax breaks and incentives from the tax payers and are run by multi-million dollar executives with golden parachutes.
