I'm surprised none of you corporate hating types didn't beat me to this. Exxon reports another record profit. This time it is $39.5 billion. My hats off to the management of Exxon. I'm sorry, but no matter what they get paid..it's not enough.

BTW...tha's about a 10.5% return on their revenue. Here's a poser for the liberals that think profit is evil. If your 401(k) returned 10.5% per year, would you be happy? Would you think that was an unfair return on your money and give it back to the people that bought the products that generated the profit for the companies in your fund?

Here's another one. How many jobs do you think will be created with the reinvestment Exxon/Mobile is going to do with their profits? And do you think some of that investment will be in research and development of new and alternative sources of energy?

Oil giant Exxon posts record earnings - Earnings - MSNBC.com

I really am unsure as to what you think about being wealthy, but some people just want to live comfortably. Not everyone is money-hungry. Sure, that would be a sweet percentage, but I think that not all executive benefits are deserved. It's all about rank and title - not production. What do you think they should be paid and what about the mid-grade employees who also made that goal happen by providing their services?
