Dear Exxon You are Fucking Over the Economy PDF Print E-mail
Written by Randall McFarlane

Dear Exxon,

Every since the price of gas has up other things have gone up. Food, Electricity, everything. Now you are going to say it is now our fault. Well it may not be your 100% your fault but your not helping at all. The people who run your company are greedy and don't give a damn about people. The price of gas has nearly tippled in the past 8 years and so have your profits. So because of your greed you are causing prices all over to go up. So increasing your profits screws the economy you don't care. Why should you care you can afford anything you want because of my damn money going to your pocket. Do you really think that the American public is that stupid? I know Bush is the leader of the united states and you can entertain him for hours by gluing a quarter to the floor but the rest of America isn't that stupid. Hope do justify the prices you charge? I think you need a little lesson for price gouging. Lets look up price gouging.

The Wikipedia defines price gouging as:

 Price gouging is a frequently pejorative reference to a seller's asking price that is much higher than what is seen as 'fair' under the circumstances. In precise, legal usage, it is the name of a felony that applies in some of the United States only during civil emergencies. In less precise usage, it can refer either to prices obtained by practices inconsistent with a competitive free market, or to windfall profits. In colloquial usage, it means simply that the speaker thinks the price is too high. Non-pejorative uses are generally in reaction to what the writer believes is an unjustified restraint on the market.

The economic theory of the last free market suggests that, even in unusual circumstances, price controls do more harm than good by preventing incentives for the supply of needed goods. For example, in a disaster situation, a very high price for equipment (e.g. tents) will prompt hugely increased supply of the relevant goods. Libertarians are among those who robustly defend the right of firms to charge what they want regardless of the circumstances. The contrary argument is that emergency situations increase inequality markedly and allowing vendors to exploit emergency situations to gain extra profits is unequitable.

hmmm sounds so much like you. That means you are breaking the law. I hope you know that sooner or later you will pay for the crimes you are committing. I will make sure I see that day.

I know while you are driving around in your Lexus that we the hard working Americans paid for on the tank of gas that we paid for you don't even think twice about who bought you that car. All you guys think is how much you can screw us. Hell you didn't even make a public announcement of why the gas is so high. All you did was hey America we made a multi billion dollar profit. yeah thank for that. You are one of the most corrupted companies on the planet and I want answers. I want to see what you pay for oil and I also what do see the records of what your expenses are for refining the gas and how much you pay for payroll. I am an American I have a right to see these records. I pay for your damn 10 Million dollar salary I demand how my money that pays your company is spent. The time of your greed is over and I will make sure that it is. I know I am one person but I hope after posting the E-mail I will have more support. If you don't give me the info I asked for I and many other will find a way to sue you for them. Stop messing with Americans because hard working Americans that can't afford to work because of the damn prices you charge for gas will fight back.

  Exxon is only a part of the problem.

Hey Exxon, we saved your bacon in the Middle East by financing that darn war. Maybe you should be paying more of our TAXES.

But here is my thought. The Gas price has more to do with Speculators and middle-men. It has more to do with production problems and yields.

But the big one is probably those speculators. They are betting that we get our BUTT kicked out of the Middle East anyway. They are looking at the POLLS and see that we are likely to get someone who is SOFT on terrorism; and SELLING HIGH to drive the price up. They are betting that our next president makes the situation worse, and oil will become harder to get.

In general, the Middle Class is doomed either way. We send out kids to the Middle East.... or pay even higher prices as the we expect to get a good ass-wooping.

There is one short term solution that can help. Everyone who is a regular middle-class type should plan their week and leave their car parked for ONE DAY each week. That means CAR POOLING just twice with a buddy. That means COMBINING trips, so you go to the stores just a couple times a week instead of EVERY DAY.

The long term is to find other energy. Everyone should pick another source and develop diversity. I burn GAS. A friend of mine is installing Solar Panels. A neighbor burns WOOD. Another guy that I know buys those wood pellets.

OK, here is my thinking. When OIL gets too darn expensive, and nobody buys Gas from Exxon.... they will start to think... HEY, I should have spent some of those PROFITS on alternative energy.

  actually the speculators are mostly the big banks driving up the cost of oil to get returns on the mortgage crisis.

The futures market was supposed to help farmers from not getting ripped off and of course the big banks find a way to make money at the cost of the rest of us.
