I'm perfectly comfortable hating the oil companies because they prey on the public in order to maximize their profits. They make boat loads of money without the need to screw the public, yet they still keep on doing it. There's no solution in the current environment. Stopping all of their tax breaks and subsidies would be nice, but that's a drop in the bucket. Good enough Pedro?
So , you do ' hate ' the oil companies , but you offer no facts on how they ' screw ' the public , nor any ' solutions in the current environment ' . What other ' drops in the bucket ' would you suggest ?
Stopping the tax breaks and subsidies would go a long way in other corporations as well.
Corps like GE , GM and pharams .
Once again , these big bad companies could pack up a leave the USA anytime they wanted , not receive any tax breaks or subsides , and leave you hanging on your own devices. But , of course , there would be an outcry that they are not doing their share to help you in your life.
Are these big bad corps required by law of any kind to help you with your entitlement mentality ?
Btw , I went to a private high school that cost me 649.00 a year ( which is now 9800.00 / yr ) and probably received a better education than you , if you attended a public school. Do you know anything of business in a free market and how it works ??

My answer to your question is thus: It's a stupid question.
Your ' opinion ' is a valid argument ??
