  “Greedy corporations making massive profits?” That is deceptive reporting. Define OIL for what it truly is! OIL is you and I, not an IT or a THEY. Financial Institutions that you and I, and pension funds, invest savings in own oil. Nobody was complaining back in the 1990's when they (we, our investment portfolio's) were losing. Check out the industry financial numbers on Yahoo Finance.

First, investors (retirement and savings funds) have over $3 Trillion of life savings at risk in this industry employing a half million people who also pay massive taxes.   Industry gross profit is around $240 Billion. Of that, government gets $100 Billion. About $91 billion is invested back into the business for expansion. About $7 billion goes to banks for the long-term debt they carry. Finally, out of it all, $6 billion goes to stockholders, or .2% on the risk capital.   Corporate Tax in the US is 5^th highest in the 30-nation organization, at 35%. That excludes around 6-8% to State corporate tax. That excludes the $70 billion the industry pays out for government Social Security and Medicare taxes on those 500,000 employees, also accumulated into the end price tag of gas. 

It is not OIL that gets the most money. It is government. First, the government kept all mineral rights in all those homestead land grants.  Know that oil exploration only happens upon any lands or waters unless authorized by a government. Government gets paid for that access, and every step in the supply chain including point of consumption.

Gas prices around the world run from 14 cents a gallon in non-taxation countries like Venezuela, upward to $6.50 a gallon in the more socialist countries like the Netherlands and Norway. The recurring cost to make a gallon of gas is less than 50 cents if refined at the point of the pumping. It is not the oil companies that suck out that extra $6.

They say we travel 2 trillion miles in USA and that equates to about 100 billions of gallons of gas. That says that this $170 billion in taxes paid by the corporations to federal and state adds about $1.70 to the costs of gas. This excludes the taxes at all the other supply chains feeding into this oil industry, and taxes at the local distributive and retail ends which adds likely another good 50 cents. As I said, for $3 gas a gallon, you figure out who is getting the most, the biggest piece of the total pie. The approximate $2.20 to the government, or the 1 ½ percent or 5 cent return to we the stockholders.

 The power of the political portrait goes back to 326 BC, to Alexander the Great of Greece. Since then, to let the multicultural masses know who has the central power, the political portrait has been stamped on coins by kings, rulers, presidents, and dictators. The powers of the enhanced portrait to persuade are the vital tools of politicians and Hollywood, those big ego’s in the industry of image management.

During this election year, we will be bombarded with daily portraits of politicians to persuade us that they have courage, passions, strengths, character, soul, and to put trust and hope in them. We need to ready ourselves for the deceptions. Then comes the conventions and the masses will be flooded with portraits, icons, and images. Then comes the punch line.

Obama the Great has decided to give his acceptance speech, the closing of the 2008 Democrat convention, in a football stadium. The powerful image will be that used by Hitler in his march to power, to stand upright, outspoken, and strong in front of 70,000 encouraging, cheering and swooning multicultural faces. The media camera will focus on the faces, back and forth, between Obama’s and certain individuals of the masses, the Black, the Asian, the Hispanic, the Woman, the young, the old, the handicapped, the Hollywood celebrity icons in the stadium. To the multicultural observer, all will be emotionally persuaded to unite with the crowd, to scramble to the bandwagon. And, it will work, for it worked for Alexander the Great back in 326BC, when he ruled over a multicultural empire, and invented this political unifying tactic.

Talk cooks no rice.  Words come and go.  But powerful images become embedded forever!  In this election go-around Madison Avenue will prevail over Wall Street, personality over substance. History will repeat itself.   The blind masses will get what they deserve.
