Well, how much profits should they make? Whats the margins a socialist like you think is fair?
Just more of the same from you/ complete faced with it, and still conjer up a dumb question to try to defend whats happening. you don't stand a chance
More of the same from you. Dodging the simplest of questions. I have a feeling you don't know. How much profit should a company make with thier money invested?

You work don't you? What do you do for a living?
Excellent point, bigcountry. Any investor is going to look at their capital investment and expect to get a minimal return on their investment. I'm gonna' say they will expect more than 6% and be lucky if they get over 15%. The flip side of this is, if a company isn't providing a competitive return on the capital investments, the smart money reinvests elsewhere that has a better return on investment. Your point is, maybe Exxon rakes in $40 B/quarter, but how much of a percentage is this of their capital investment? Friggin' socialists and wealth redistributors don't get that idea. They equate profits with "theft." After all, that money could so much better be spent on welfare payments, HIV clinics in Sudan, NEA grants to mimes, etc.
Don't you guys know that, according to the Dems, it's illegal to make a profit on things we need (like oil for example). Unless your a rich Dem like Gore for example.

The thing that gets me the most is the hypocrisy of many. Here we have a business that in most respects resembles the government many dislike and bash at every turn, touted as brilliant andspoken ofas benevolent.
I'veonly ever heard ofone group as responsible for the demise of so many business's as big oil,and that would be the U.S. government. Lest you go down the road claiming how many people have profited off of their practises, the government has the same distinction.
How much profit is too much? Depends on how it's acquired and at what cost!
