I want you to note the largesse towards the hurricane victims of some of the corporations you tend to defend: The main thrust of the actual facts mentioned in that link is that oil companies are profitable. No argument there. But I don't see why that means they should be attacked. Then because gasoline is expensive now and oil companies profits have been high oil companies are supposedly looting the country. Derrick Z. Jackson (the author of the article you quoted and linked to) provides no support for his case. The facts in his article only provide more support for his premises (that gasoline is expensive and that oil companies are making a lot of money). But those premises don't logically result in his conclusion. Pileing on more and more facts to support his premises is useless. The premises don't get you anywhere.
