ExxonMobil chairman Rex Tillerson appeared on NBC's "Today" show this morning and disputed critics' charges that oil companies collude to illegally manipulate oil prices.
He also said that, while he sympathizes with Americans struggling with high prices at the pump, reducing gas supplies won't help the situation either – unless consumers want longer lines at gas stations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Tillerson said that the price of oil is established on the open commodities market, and the price at the pump eventually reflects that. He also said that the bulk of gasoline prices goes to overseas oil producers – not to American

What he is saying here the price of refined gas is bid up in commiditeis market and sold to the world not just the US they we stand in line just like anyone else that the fix they put us in...
Now this is America is it not, Did not your forefather and the forefather's of coutless million's of people give up there live's for the pusuit fo
freedom and happiness.........
Freedom is what they gave us, SO WE COULD PURSUE HAPPINESS, not tax others to provide happiness in the form of a Socialist grant.
Or did they give it all for a American company to do business with the world and tell us to bad we can get the price and forget your dream's.
TG: Quit the VICTIMHOOD STUFF.
I knew men from the greatest Generation ever and if they were alive today there would be a revolution there OMR.
NO there would not: TG. There have always been Victims: TG, n' many of the "greatest generation" felt Victimized by the Great Depression. That is why they ellected a very Liberal Socialist leaning FDR to four terms. He was a great War time leader but in many ways a terrible President. His policies defeated many protections against the massive government our Founders put in place, and the massive government has been growin' ever
since.
Dont all of the American big oil exist with in the banking system here dont they exist with in the healthcare socail service's for there worker's hosptial's, city government's transportation systems, the list is endless
Smite the evil empire i say..........For as you see it is truly corrupt, morally bankrupt and giant with no control's of guidance, willing to disembowl enitire segment's of business smashing hard working people's dreams..
I guess ya want Socialism then eh TG? I do not. I hope the majority do not want what you want either.
From the depth's of hell i spit at thee, there day will come and revenge is a dish best served cold......
