Hey Dick,
Why don’t you educate us on a couple? Surely MSNBC has supplied you with some.. You and the other two viewers should put your heads together and come up with something.
There are even solutions to the problem in Forbes magazine which is completely right wing. But like I say, you have to get your news from different sources, and you have to read the paper. It shouldn’t be my job to educate you.
I have an honest question. If Exxon makes a profit of 10 cents a gallon, even if the price sky rockets, their profit should still be 10 cents a gallon right?
The only way they should make more profit is by selling more gas, which they aren’t really doing.
Yet their profits have sky rocketed. So why cant they just take less profit in order to be good corporate citizens to the American people?
When the media talks about the price going up, they never say its because Exxon is taking more profit than they ever have in any companies history.
If Bush had been from Iowa, would the left be up in arms over the price of corn due to the alternative fuels initiatives where one of our basic staple crops is being used to make ethanol as opposed to corn meal? Bush would probably then be accused of lining the pockets of his corn cronies and of starving the poor people in Mexico since they can’t afford to buy their tortillas anymore.
Oh come on Dick. You brilliant people should educate us mislead and misguided individuals. Can’t you give us at least one of your great solutions? Other than putting a windmill on my car I haven’t heard of any from your side. Oh I forgot, I can also drive less.. that will fix the problem.
Did you actually read the article? Did you not pick up on the fact that the 2.5 billion was more than all of the other punitive damage awards affirmed on appeal? The reality is that our “justice” system is rigged for the those who can pay—the corporations. It took 19 yrs to get this decision–that is 19 yrs!. Exxon is laughing all of the way to the bank and then they plant this writer who blames it on the attorneys when only 1% of verdicts involve punitive damages. The Chamber of Commerce is on record this year indicating it will spend 100 million dollars to try and change the laws to favor Big Business. The public are willing saps as they vote their rights away and then get upset when something happens to them but they find the doors to the courthouse closed because of a change in the law they supported since “they never thought it could happen to me”. 100 million dollars can buy you a lot of propaganda. Big Business is smart and they are winning the battle as Exxon won this one. This Exxon result is the norm not the exception and until the American people wake up and start voting for politicians who will protect their interests instead of the interests of Corporate America, we will all wake up one day and realize the only ones that can afford to go to court and have laws on the books that allow them to go to court will be those businesses responsible for passing the laws that only protect their interests—this Exxon decision is just the tip of the iceberg if nayone cares to find out the truth behind the realities of our “justice system”.
Nice way to not answer a question, Dick. Is that your typical MO? Answer questions with Donk talking points spoon fed to you by Harry Reid and George Soros rather than approach the question with an intelligent answer?

Good point, Dick, but learn how to spell.

BDS, thats pointless, are you suggesting Bush hasnt given the oil companies favorable treatment? Are you blind?? Read the darn news, or zip it.

Bush appointed former oil executives to write our energy policy when he got in office 8 years ago – was that a smart idea?
