Who owns big oil?

[crustycrayon]

1.5%... if you told me that, I would have to say your a liar.

Pension Plans and Mutual funds run by the fat cat rich white guys who own the majority of the shares. Seriously flawed research. Mutual funds and pension plans have become ponzi schemes wherein the small-time suckers get to feel like they're getting wealthy until a panic happens. Meanwhile the wealthy get to here in advance about trouble so they can withdraw their money before, and re-invest at the low points. The middle class is being screwed into poverty.

This video is shady. I find it interesting that this video just so happen to be in a bunch of other videos when I searched GM's EV1 car.

[01rrrdddrrrddd]

I bet that this John Bisney guy is a millionaire.

This video was made by Energy Tomorrow.

It is made by big oil.

From their website

"API is the only national trade association that represents all aspects of America's oil and natural gas industry. Our 400 corporate members, from the largest major oil company to the smallest of independents, come from all segments of the industry. They are producers, refiners, suppliers, pipeline operators and marine transporters, as well as service and supply companies that support all segments of the industry."

you need to think. how did Mr Bush with little time in government get in? Now ask your self, who has as little time in the government as Bush? so its not propaganda. It voters. They need to be given a test to let vote. You get what you vote for. Oil companies are not the big fat cat any more that the government in the USA is bad or broken! Not when you think! Why did Obama thank the government, for his wife and his life being possible due to the government?

Wow propaganda works.

There is nothing wrong with big oil. People often ingore all the good things they do. The oil companies do not control the price.

[Roadiepat]

yet they make "gross" $18,000,000,000 every 3 months.. sounds like a lot of control to me..

[somesortofgamer]

Where does this money go anyway, I really want to know, for real, someone answer.

whoever owns big oil needs the death penalty! How do you like that! I will pull the switch-you idiot do you live in a cave? unless you do your a user of oil, if you disagree stop buying oil thats also plastics /tires/rubber, & walk because bikes have rubber tires, go kill yourself! people like you need to be removed from the gene pool , next you will want to burn the observatory to stop a comet from hitting the earth, in your case its so sinple that a caveman cannot understand it

[SubscribeToMe4More]

Bad for the environment as more people get stuck in this mess that is Big Oil and its wars

[TheMagician808]

Even though I am not happy with the prices of gas for my Hummer. I am a Happy Federal Govenment Employee who will reap the rewards from my pension plan. Just keep healthy.

[HalcyonRain321]

Excuse me . . . don't miss the fact that this video was put out by the oil companies themselves.

Don't forget that the CEOs of Big Oil are earning HUGE salaries.

The 41% percent of the stock which is owned by the pension plans and retirement funds mentioned in this video are for the CEOs and other employees of Big Oil.

And who's got the kind of disposable funds to invest in the Mutual Funds mentioned in this video? The CEO's and other employees of Big Oil. That's who.

[naughtypagan72]

All the oil companies in the US should just shut down. Everybody would be better off right?

[gonzobrains]

you guys are just jealous haters.

[padude64]

whoever owns big oil needs the death penalty! How do you like that! I will pull the switch!

[rplende]

This is absolute Bullshit!

[Navigator7777777]

I'd say the idiot to intelligent ratio of Wall Street exceeds that found out in farm country by about 10 or 15 times.

Maybe if the interviewer held out free bananas a more informed group would have appeared?

Guess what the liberals want to do with "ALL THOSE RECORD PROFITS" the evil big oil corporations are earning/

Give me an air sick bag.

[gismotech]
