The oil companies are obscenely profitable because people all over the world burn a lot of gasoline and there are only five companies making most of those profits. Do you think IBM is obscenely profitable? What about Microsoft or AAPL? I want them to be turbo-obscenely profitable...i just want them to also pay a fair, progressively fair tax and let's agree that they don't need our loopholes to avoid paying it. Fair? This is utterly stupid. Who builds the vehicles that make big oil obscenely profitable, and why is one different from the other? Talk about stupid... WTF? The liability is from the GOVERNMENT sector, not the private sector. Remember, the private health insurance companies SUBSIDIZE the government operation massively. Without private insurance absorbing cost-shifting, government would be spending TWICE what it now is for health care. Or more. BCBS pays 2, sometimes 2.5x what Medicare and Medicaid average for many procedures. What you wrote is really DUMB...health care is not an elective...private insurance absorbs NOTHING...all the money that is paid to the health care delivery system comes from citizens...aka TAXPAYERS...
