if the oil company only made 500 million a day. and that same CEO only took home 150 bucks an hour. he is still living the high life making twice as much money in a WEEK than the average person makes in a MONTH. are the oil companys going to survive on 500 million a day paying all their wages? god yes they are.

do you know how far 500 million a day would go to the poor people in this country. a LOONG ways in boosting the economy.
This is a good theory but oil companies only keep a very small percentage of what they make. The people who are making the money are the government and the oil providing countries. Oil companies still make alot more than you or I but they work for it too.
