I've had one hell of a time justifying the expense of fuel and,
consequently, over the last year our boat has been out very little.

Now I come to find that Exxon, Chevron and Halliburton have made more
money this past year than at any time in history and our rate of savings
hasn't been this low since 1933.

I'm feeling stung. The taxation is going to happen one way or another.
I feel government is in a better position to redistribute my taxation
more than I trust Exxon or Chevron or Halliburton but I guess they
already have.

Think about it folks. Very few companies are having banner years, apart
from these companies.

I also made more money this past year than at any time in history.

Is it some sort of coincidence that I'm a friend (at least via donor money)
of the current administration?

No, just an indication that you're among the growing division of have
and have nots.

Bully for you.

I do not find solace in the fact that I'm making more money while many
of my nation's brethren are finding it more difficult to earn a family
wage job or find decent health care coverage.
