Disgusting facts! Big oil company's keep taking from the working class and give nothing back! All they do is TAKE- TAKE-TAKE and put nothing back! They could well afford to share the wealth and reduce there profits with the people that support them by lowering the price of gas.

If you subtract companies that saw windfall profits due to bankruptcy bailout, the top 10 list of companies that saw the highest profits in one quarter are all oil companies.
