I'd say I'm in the bottom 98 percent for sure. But I haven't gotten poorer the past 8 years. I've got richer, though far from rich. Very far, but still.
If all the oil companies decided not to make any profits, if they were just like OK, we'll break even this year, how many free gallons of fuel would each person get who uses fuel? Would every American, European, Asian, whatever, get onefree tank, and then we'd be right back where we were? I mean, the numbers might sound huge regarding the profits, but think about the massive scale we're talking about here. Think about just how many gallons of fuel is used in a day. I don't have much problem with rewarding those who provide the life giving blood to the globe. Think of what they're providing. Oil runs everything. We don't need new guitars, but we need oil.
