$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'Y')es, times are tough for many. Sure, oil companies make a lot of cash. But, for that money, they get us to work, get ambulances to the hospital, keep our homes warm, and employ thousands of our friends and neighbors while financing their retirement, paying their health care, and providing energy to millions. Because of capitalism, they have the incentive to do that. I've yet to see what our government does for us with their rather large chunk of each gallon of gas we buy, and I've yet to see them offer to return it or suggest a gas-tax-windfall-tax-tax.

Be Thankful For Big Oil

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

They don't love you and they don't care if you don't love them.
They just want to keep you buying gas so they can make a profit.

The prime movers feed off the rest of society; that's just the price of running our brand of civilization. Without corporations, there would only be 500 million people on the planet, we would live to the ripe age of 40, work less than ten hours a week to stay alive, use very little technology and live in eco-friendly all-natural housing. Upon proofreading that sentence, it sounds like paradise.
