RE: Fleecing American Consumers
Tsk, tsk, tsk. More editorializing in the title. Everything inside the parenthesis is added value, for those who don't click the link.
How, exactly, is Exxon Mobile fleecing American Consumers? Are they selling water and claiming it's gasoline? Are they claiming their gasoline will cure cancer? Have they misled their stockholders to believe profits were higher or lower than they actually are?
They are in business to sell a product. If American consumers don't want to buy the product, then they have free will and can stop. Exxon Mobile has competition. Consumers can buy someone else's product. I don't see National Guardsmen lined up with guns forcing people to drive into an Exxon Mobile station.
They made a profit. Their shareholders benefited. You could have been a shareholder and benefited.
Where's the fleece?
