    It's anything you don't like. You've been presented with fact after fact and you never acknowledge it. You're akin to a child who puts his fingers in his ears because you don't want to hear anything that contradicts your worldview.

    You're intellectually dishonest and proven yourself unworthy of anyone taking the time to post researched information.

    You wouldn't know researched information if it jumped up and bit you on the ass. I've shot down "fact after fact" that you've posted in your hysterical rants. It's all there to see. This rant isn't fooling anyone.

    Poor guys. We should give them tax breaks and bail them out of this predicament.

    remember, it's only socialism if it's given to the regular folks. It's just good ole capitalism (and neo-conism) to give it to the huge multi-national corps.

    What is their profit margin? That's the real issue.

    Why are you so bitter against a profitable American company?

    Maybe you should open a brokerage account and buy some Exxon stock. Maybe you wouldn't be so jealous.

    You could also start buying gas from all of those unprofitable oil companies that don't have the gall to make a profit.

    I'm not. I'm objecting to their tax breaks. They don't need public help. It's spending that we can cut. What have you got against cutting out wasteful government spending?

    Uhhh . . . I've had a brokerage account for 32 years and I own Exxon stock. Conoco, too.

    You seem to have a difficult time distinguishing between jealousy and pragmatism.

    The point just flies over your head doesn't it?

    It's not just billions of profits and government money too. You over simplify the realities of corporate America. I'd rather give Exxon tax breaks than pour billions into corporations that haven't found a way to make a profit, including the one that pays my salary.

    It's short-sighted as well as a waste of money to provide "incentive" to companies that are wildly profitable and require no incentives to do this. We're running out of oil rapidly and Exxon is getting all they can, while they can and who can blame them? But the United States has more important priorities than padding one company's profit statement.

    We must develop alternative energy sources in the next 50 years or the future is very bleak indeed. Yet, the current adminstration pays subsidies to Big Oil and then cut the subsidies to America's biggest wind turbine company. Because of this, the new factory they are bulding to produce the biggest, most efficient wind turbines in the world is not going to be built in Ohio where it was planned. It's going to be built in Denmark instead, taking advantage of Danish government investment in wind power.

    Demark produces 20% of it electricity through wind power and will raise it to 50% by 2025. They are ahead of any other nation and Danish wind power companies lead the world. We had a chance to compete and we blew it
