Again...not to perpetuate this thread but while they might not set the price
of oil they sure do rake the profits in while at the same time receiving
huge subsidies and tax breaks from the feds.

Tax breaks or huge profits.  Choose one.

I'm with J.G., you can keep him!  But not to perpetuate this thread, but I
think 
I read somewhere recently that "American Big Oil" only constitutes about 10%
of 
the world's oil, and they don't have any control over the price of the
barrel as 
that's set by OPEC.  True?
