here's some bloody math for you....
exxon, just ONE of the companies, "only" had a 7% increase in earnings.
how much did that amount to? $588,000,000. say it with me.... five-hundred and eighty-eight MILLION dollars in ADDITIONAL PROFIT... thats just an increase... just in one year... just for ONE company.
those poor companies are only making single digit gains...
again, your argument is crap, JATO.
it's looking like a load of rhetoric. and i thought you were better than that.
