There are legally assaulted?

Like FAT CAT Oil Companies get richer by the day, the average American is working harder and longer for less money. Hello !!!!! What's wrong with this picture ????? How long can this go on!

In late July, all oil companies reported massive jumps in their sales and profit. It is helpful proceeds LEGALLY MUGGING the American public? Let's take a look at the facts.

Two of the three major world oil companies, Exxon, Mobil and Shell have recently published the combined second quarter profits of just under 18 billion U.S. dollars at record high prices on crude oil. Both companies have exceeded market expectations. Nice, as long as they are not (the average American struggle) to make ends meet.

Exxon Mobil and maintained a 12% increase in revenues to $ 99 billion. The first time a U.S. company had exceeded one billion U.S. dollars a day for one quarter of trading. While I was filling the tank, I remember thinking how happy I was that little 'history.

This second quarter has shaped the richest ever for three months the six largest oil companies. ConocoPhillips, the third largest U.S. oil company, was pleased to say that profits jumped 65% to a record 5.19 billion. The Energy Department in Washington reported that U.S. retail prices rose by 30% over last year.

There is no other industry can get away with this kind of behavior. At the first sign of any problem anywhere in the world, raised the price of gas and paying for this, do as the Americans. We are told by our leaders that oil companies are (protect) their margins. Get a clue --- record revenues and profits is not (for protection) is MUGGING LEGALIZATIONS margins of the American public, pure and simple.

One might think that our leaders would want to protect the great American public from this type of suffering, but it would be wrong. We never seem to be far away from another election and election campaigns cost money Big Money. Enter the oil companies with very deep pockets. All the time, we, as people continue to allow politicians to spend such obscene amounts of money for their campaigns will always subject to the power of these special interest groups.

PLEASE someone explain to me how they can justify spending tens of millions of dollars on a polling station in the Senate and hundreds of millions for the presidential election? After all these jobs only pay a few hundred thousand dollars a year in salaries to the fullest. What you get for this money? Answer: the lies and smiles. All promise to make a difference and do - WE always seem to end up worst off.

Would not it be nice if politicians pay was linked to productivity and results! Wonder how many of them would work, then?
