Oil companies have not made record profits....unless of course you conside 5.3% record profit, which is what Exxon realized for the first 2 quarters of 2022 as reported on Wall Street since they are a publicly traded company. They (Exxon) reported the highest profit margin of the publicly traded oil companies.
So essentially the federal government with all their fees, surcharges and such are making more off of oil than the actual producers are. So not so surprisingly, the corporate greed that Biden loves to cite is the federal government.
Sadly, in my experience lefties care nothing for facts and everyone's reality is different. Pretty convienient for sure.
I really don't want to argue with you over oil company profits. However IMO if they didn't pay their top brass so much they would make more profit. I have no problem with anyone making a profit. I do have an issue with greed especially if it's traded in stock buy backs to change the markets. Also since Exxon lists what they pay people, I picked out 2. Now do you really think these people work so hard they deserve this much? I could even understand if it was a great year. These people need to be in the horse business, they can easily afford it. I do wonder why 2020 is missing, I have no idea it just wasn't listed. Oh how I wish I was an oil CEO or VP. Couple of weeks would work for me.

I am not wanting to argue with anyone. I think a large part of the problems we are seeing in this country is due to the inability to agree to disagree respectfully, without someone getting offended. In respect to oil companies, celebrities, athletes and many other jobs.....I don't necessarily believe they deserve to make that much but it is not mine or the government, or anyone else's right to make that decision but those who sign the paychecks, who get to decide what someone earns. | |

              Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Funny the Question was never answered, probaby cause they didnt have any answers and dont want to face the true answers to this question. Bidens dementia has gotten increasingly obvious but no body wants to admit Bidens illness that looks up to this creep. When he started asking for Jackie that died Aug. 3rd, there is something wrong there folks, didnt it open any of your eyes when he was asking for her last week? Wake up people!!! How can you forget someone has died in a horrible accident along with her 2 staffers? | |

Ms. Dr. Phil
    Location: My happy place | Thank you Cisco I sure agree with the comment about people being able to reapectfully agree or disagree. Not a new problem but I must it has gotten worse over the years. Back on the topic of making the big bucks. All for why I'm for taxing them. I don't like basketball players or actors making that much either. IMO easy come easy go. IMO the difference between them and the oil & drug companies is people don't have to support them and they don't manipulate the market. I don't have to contribute to their profit margin. Now you can say get an electric car, but get real. Electric cars belong in big cities where they have a big problem. Things that really boggle my mind are people like the Kardashians, Youtube and internet stars who make crazy money. Then again if the idiots spend the money on it, who am I to judge. I do find some crap now days just really crazy. I will answer the original question. I don't like Joe Biden much better than the last guy. PLEASE someone better step up to the plate. As far as his recent incident. He is 79 years old...... which IMO is too old. As for the crazy things he says. I watch Trump rallies, crazy is everywhere. I hope everyone will say a prayer for Fort Myers, Sanibel & Captive and the rest of FL. Horse people don't get many vacations, but we have been a few times. It was a beautiful place that will never be the same again. Also since this seems to be a political thread. What is up with Marco Rubico? He is whiter that Mark Zuckerburg and lives in Florida. He looks like a vampire and should be and ad for sunscreen. ETA: Whatever happened to that "Respect the Office of The President" that is only around during the Republican administrations. LOL Don't mind me I like to call out Crazy no matter what side, and they call us snowflakes. I lost a lot of faith in his competence when he said "Hunter was the smartest man he knew." Man I hope he has some better advisiors. Sorry still not on the Trump Train.

       Location: In the wrong place at the wrong time | I am all for taxing them also and they are taxed. The elitist left creates class division by saying the top 1% aren't taxed when it is a lie and the much bigger lie that the left aren't part of the top 1%. The biggest lefties are all America's wealthiest including many politicians and many people who buy into the leftist BS are too foolish or misinformed to realize it. The left has been pledging for years to help the impoverished and the average working class american and all they have done is kept people impoverished and made the working class poorer. Two years into this piece of crap's occupation of our white house, I have gotten a second job just to make ends meet, have no health insurance and am considering selling my trailer. Certainly won't be buying an electric vehicle that is being forced down our throats by this corrupt dictatorship. You may not like Trump but at least under his administration: Fuel was under $2. per gallon, borders were secure, unemployment at 60 year low, no inflation, 2% mortgage interest rates, domestic oil production, the Abraham peace accord in the middle east, manufacturing jobs came back to America, respect (fear) from other heads of nations, we did not have the record crime we now face. I could go on but I won't. I'll climb on board the Trump train, or anyone's train who can accomplish what he did in the face of adversity the likes we have never seen and coming from all directions, absolutely anytime! I'm not saying you, per se, but many people feel they have to "like" a candidate....for me "like" is an emotion and I don't vote emotionally. I vote policy only, after all I'm pretty sure I won't be hanging out with him or her. ETA: I respect the office of president when the president is RESPECTABLE, no matter which party. Biden has never been respectable.

Nope crickets not a word........the sad or harsh reality...he barly knows where he is....which is obvious when he goes off script.... Am I surprised at what is going on......nope he told us ...he is all against fossil fuel and has plainly stated on several occasions his goal was to end our use of coal, oil and natural gas.........and here we are.......How's this working out for us.......not good. And why did people think electing him would be a good idea....... | |

I rode the Trump train it was a good ride.....yes the train conductor was sometimes very erratic and made unnecessary stops lol but I honestly think it was some of our best times.....for all....businesses, foreign poliecs etc....then covid hits and that seemed to be when the train derailment begin.......the conductor let outside influences guide his emotions too much....thus here we are with an old white man that appears to hate white train riders .... I mean we are "a clear and present danger to U.S democracy" Biden September 1st 2022 My train story lol As for respect for the office of president......lets start with Nancy Pelosi tearing up the state of the union address on prime time TV....and then some wonder why Jan 6th did happen.....people are tired of Washington....all of them..... | |

I actually watched that clip on Puerto Rico. Surely, people who see this don't think he is in his right mind? Whether you like him or not, he is demented. And losing his mental capacity. Shameful that his cabinet and even his wife, stands there and just does the fake smile while he stumbles and mumbles around. | |

        Location: Kansas | Yesterday Biden was caught on a hot mic telling a Florida mayor "Nobody f___s with a Biden." Seriously, you old fool, everybody does, including Saudi Arabia who just cut down on their oil supply to the U.S. triggering higher fuel prices. Is Biden going to open the oil and gas industry in our country so investors will once again support drilling? Nope.....he's sniffing out the dictators in Venezuela. He does have a thing about Communist countries.
