They thing as I see it is that every day We are sending millions of dollars to pay for the oil to the Saudis,venezuelan and they're getting richer and we are getting poorer...if we don't do something now We are going to end up like third world country.
I agree with you there. You should read this guy with a user name "JetPiedmont" over at the Major section under the Oil $100 a Barrel thread. He is clearly not an airline pilot and eveything he writes reads like a propaganda material from the oil companies. He thinks the oil industry profit is completely reasaonable and that they are only making 10% net profit and that we should stop bashing the oil companies to take out our frustrations. He must think we are all idiots. Any corporation can write off as much as they can possibly get away with. CNN reported not too long ago, Exxon Mobile's profit going up over 300% in the first quarter of 2007.
