ExxonMobil posted record profits

[Scrooge McSam]

I don't care how much the oil companies make. More power to 'em. I also don't care if they lose their shirt.

What I want is for our government to stop catering to these companies; stop rolling back environmental regulations; stop giving polluters immunity from legal action. Stop whining and crying about how our oil corporations are being unfairly treated when that is obviously not the case. Every company in this country has to deal with government regulation; how much taxes you'll have to pay, where you can build your offices, how they have to be built, how you handle the sewage, how you handle your refuse. Oil companies are no different, yet we cater to them. Small businesses handle these challenges successfully, or they fail. Let the oil companies start grumbling and Congress lines up for their check.
