1. Until today, I believed that the environmental movement was simply an activity to give the simple-minded a sense of belonging, and a way to keep them from hanging out on the street corners. Then, I saw the latest entry in the ‘join the movement’ recruiting vid.
2. Check it out:

a. From the vid: “Here at Exxon…we all know that the climate crisis will rip their world apart.” Actually, neither do ‘we all know’ i.e., agree that it’s real, nor is it about to rip anything apart.
b. ‘…we don’t care, because it’s making us rich.” Really? Terrible how they make those obscene profits on poor folks! It seems that being liberal means never having to provide context. First, let’s compare the profit margin of Big Oil to that of Microsoft, Apple, Google, Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola, Nike, etc. The average profit margin for companies in the S & P 500 index was 13 cents. And “The [Oil] industry’s net profit per dollar of revenue was just under 9 cents, compared to… the S&P 500, meaning the “markup” for the oil and gas industry is below average.”

So, where are the complaints about ‘Big Sneaker,’ or ‘Big Shampoo’?
c. “…Congress gives the Oil Industry over $10 billion in subsidies…”
And, of course, the antibusiness crowd loves stories about how much Big Oil is stealing from the American people! On the contrary, in 2006, the oil industry paid $81 billion in income tax, and while Exxon’s earnings increased 89% from 2003 to 2007, their income taxes increased 170%.

d. If Exxon’s 2008 tax bill of $116.2 billion were split equally among all tax filers who pay income tax, each filer’s share would be $1,259/year. Still hate Exxon? Number of Americans Paying Zero Federal Income Tax Grows to 43.4 Million | Tax Foundation
3. But it’s not just lies from self-righteous idiots….it’s psychotics who actually fantasize about exploding children who aren’t convinced of the bogus ‘movement.”
