I saw what breaking up big companies did when they broke up Ma Bell. I havent had decent telephone service since.

I dont go along entirely with the supply and demand scenarion,but basically its right. The oil companies did make record breaking profits, Profits mind you not net. With profits that large they are taking maybe a bit more than what they should,but thats the American way.

As for Hillary deciding to take away those profits and do what she likes with them> Whats to stop her from taking away profits from Microsoft,or Walmart or Sears roebuck. Where doesit stop. take away profit and you defeat Capitolism. Wait> maybe thats the plan.

They should take the profits they can. No one makes us drive.

I think when they report profits, those are new profits.

With profits that large they are taking maybe a bit more than what they should

And what should they take? Who do you think knows the norm?

Old saying:

A government powerful enough to give you everything you want

...is powerful enough to take away everything you have
