So you're moving to a more expensive oil?
What makes XOM greedy? Their profits? If you go to an Exxon gas station is the gas more expensive than Shell or another major competitor? Don't think so...
Also, the last time I checked, the purpose of a for profit company is to make a profit. Publicly traded companies are also required to increase profit or their stock price sinks. So every time they post record profits they're merely breaking their own record.
Plus, profitable companies pay taxes. It's funny how the term "greed" is used to describe private industry but not the scoundrals in government.
