I'm not sure how many people are aware of this, but Exxon Mobil touted their highest ever profits in 2007 and expects even greater profits from 2008. This profit margin is on record as the greatest profit that has ever been made by any company in the history of the Unites States. If a crisis is responsible for high gas prices, why is Exxon Mobile profiting so exceptionally? Isn't this a bit like ambulance chasing? They are taking advantage of this war for their company gain. Quite illegal, but no one seems to care enough to make them accountable. Also, remember that this is the same company who is responsible for the disastrous Exxon Valdez oil spill and they have never paid the fine imposed upon them. Not a dime. With all the profits earned in 2007, shouldn't they be at least required to do that?
