Why the fuck are oil companies given a free ride? - GoFuckYourself.com

They have made record profits for many quarters,, why the hell are they allowed to keep profits up after a disaster??? Why can't they dontate or take a cut due to the disaster? I know they got hit too,, but why do prices have to raise because of that? They are fucking loaded so why can't they HELP instead of take the same in a disaster? I'm asking because I don't understand.

Oil runs this world. It is more powerful than money. For money can be made...but oil cannot.

Because they control our government.

They have thousands of stockholders to answer to. Stockholders dont want their money given away.

Money, greed, greed / selfish.. don't care about others; Bush family included. All of his family money should be taken from them and given to charity; most of it came from profits from doing dealings with Osama's family / the Saudi family.. who own 15% of the US..

On a side note but related topic:

Has anyone seen the energy secretary since the rise in oil prices?

isn't it his job to come out and explain the reasons for the increase as well as help to get he prices reduced. WTF!

we invade an oil rich country and the prices go up. LOL

tony286 · 08-30-2005, 11:06 PM

Another fucking nutball thread ?

abadfish · 08-30-2005, 11:28 PM

Ya... it's funny how they are making record profits... (exxon mobile made I believe 7.6 BILLION last quarter) and at the same time they are receiving tax breaks.

Even worse is the airlines are in horrible shape (party due to high oil prices, mostly poor management) and because of this most of them are in or near bankruptcy and the govt is bailing them out with discounted fuel.

Doesn't make sense and most people would rather sit around and bitch about high gas prices and all of the other fucked up things with our govt but we keep voting these fuckers in to office.
