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.
