THERE ARE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE AND MAKING THEIR MILLIONS NOW..... They know the end is in sight for gasoline and they wanna get it all now....

When gas is no longer needed, the middle eastern people can return to being (more) savage... and revert BACK to third world countries that they were BEFORE we started helping them out....

The US Treasury (IRS) appreciates these profits and so should you. BP paid 2.927 billion in federal income taxes on that after tax profit of 6 billion. Shell's figures were comparable. Each paid 35% federal income taxes on profits. I think it's only fair that if you post profits you should also post federal income taxes paid on those profits so as to not represent a lopsided scenario.

since when is it illegal or immoral for a business to make a profit? WE are the problem, as we continue to drive huge vehicles and do all manner of things that waste energy.
