I've owned a small business for almost 30 years and if my gross profit wasn't more than four times that of Exxon, I'd have to close the doors. Remember also that Exxon's profits are taxed. Goattee, what you've got to keep in mind is that whatever cost a company incurs at the hands of the gov't will be passed on to the consumer. When gov't and gov't wannabes start talking about taxing private enterprise, whether individual or corporate, to help "the common citizen" it's just a shell game. Watch this manuever while you're distracted from another manuever. Also remember that gov't produces nothing, nada, zip. No Exxon, no go.
