Who really cares anyway. Americans are stupid enough to take their profits anyway.

How can we lay claim to be "the greatest country on Earth" if we have such a rotten government?

Which is elected by even stupider people. The public school / conformity machine - ensures people from day 1 accept everything, question nothing. It begins with the teacher / student relationship.

Insert 9000 threads by me on public education.

Youll notice we have gone more and more downhill as the government gets further and further involved.

How can you say that about the organization that brought you the US Postal Service, FEMA, the COBOL programming language, and a bankrupt panzi scheme called social security?

so those profit figures are "before" taxes?

Net income = after tax profit.

I read a story this morning that Wal-Mart is training its managers to prepare for a Democrat victory in November, thus leading to the probable unionization of its workers.

I saw that too. That will be world war 3.

We need a revitalization of unions here in this country. That would drive the very last manufacturing jobs out so we can be a 100% service economy and slowly grind to an economic halt.

Its due to why the price dropped. Conservatives making noise about offshore drilling and ANWAR have created uncertainty around the safety of speculating oil increases. Rest assured if it had been anything Obama had said or done, there would be a 24/7 love-fest going on right now.
