The Oil Company Spin Machines are at full throttle...

The quote below is their latest BS. Essentially their argument is that they don't make as much as Goggle as a percent of revenue.

The fundamental difference between Oil and Goggle is that Oil is commodity that we are required to buy. Their is no comparative commodity that yields 8% net on revenue (don't farmers wish otherwise).

Goggle provides a service to America that makes this country a better place, empowers people with access to information, and ultimately is a choice...consumers can choose not to Goggle. They can't decide not to drive to work, heat their homes, and our economy requires Oil to transport goods.

For their part, the oil companies have been emphasizing that they make far less money on each dollar of sales than many other industries that aren't being excoriated for their capitalism.

Taken together, Exxon, Chevron and ConocoPhillips made a profit of $8.19 on every $100 in sales. In contrast, Internet bellwethers Google Inc., Yahoo Inc. and eBay Inc. collectively turned a $19.20 profit on every $100 of their combined revenue.

Unabated mergers, a contrived and controlled shortage and a bought and paid for congress/exceutive branch. It's time of 21st century pitchforks and torches.

Goggle Empowers, Exxon Subjugates

Exercise your limited power of choice in two ways;
For May, buy no gas or oil from Exxon-Mobile
In June, buy no gas from Shell
In July, buy no gas from Conoco Phillips
In August buy no gas from Arco
Whenever possible buy from independents even if they get their product from one of the majors.
Send a signal and wreak havoc on their cash flow!

In November vote for anyone who will engage these manipulators and promotes a real "get off the dino juice" policy.
