Oil Company Profits?
#7
How much profit would you agree is acceptable? We need to be careful when we judge these people. They have invested billions of dollars and they are getting a return on their investment. If you research you will find they are making about they are getting around a 20-25% return on their investment. If you make 20-25% on your investments(401k, IRA, or even a small business) do you say wait I am making too much, and I won't except this money. Or if I am driving a Camry do I say, no this is excessive, I will by a Corolla instead and donate the difference in the cost to charity.
Probably very view people on this site consider themselves rich, however, the fact that they own a computer would make them extremely rich in a third world country such as Haiti.
Again, I am not defending or be critical of anyone, just pointing out that we need to be careful not to be hypocritical.
