Sats for first quarter profits:

Big Oil 7.4%

Pharm and med 25.9%

Chemicals 15.7%

Electronic equipment 12.1%

So why does Big Oil get picked on for 7.4% profits by the politicians,

albeit it is a necessary commodity and a sore spot with Americans,

the profit is in the billions not the millions which means more volumde of $$ they can tax.
