40 billion for 2006 was biggest annual profit EVER for a U.S. company.

And guess who made them rich? We did!
While families of four paid through the nose to drive their SUVs to work and school, while the little businessmen paid more for shipping and handling while keeping consumer prices the same, while poor Americans got poorer because they couldn't decide to pay for their heating bills or food first.........EXXON scores really big!

No wonder they dropped the price of gas twenty cents a gallon lately. Thought they'd give us a break before their numbers came out. Wouldn't want us bitchin. Thought they'd do us a favor.
Oh, you really didn't mind almost paying DOUBLE this past year, now did you?
No price gouging though, there really weren't any <shortages.>
