Cosmic Iguana - Voice of the Evil Doers

RAW STORY:

ExxonMobil reported Friday the largest US corporate annual profit in history at 40.6 billion dollars, benefiting from surging crude oil prices on strong demand, particularly in China and India.

The net profit was three percent higher than a year ago when the biggest US oil and gas firm reported a 2006 annual profit of 39.5 billion dollars, which had prompted ire over US policies said to favor big oil firms.

The multinational behemoth also posted a record fourth-quarter net profit, at 11.6 billion dollars, up 14 percent from the same period in 2006 ... [*]

They make 70-80% profit on every barrel of oil [*] They make every second what you make in a week, or in a minute what you make in a year [*].

But they never bothered to pay up for the Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska nearly twenty years ago [*]

Well, that's American capitalism for you.
