While gas is at record prices, the country searches for cash to get to work....Except for a select few. The oil industry is a sin.
Exxon made more than $10 billion but an 85-point gain for the Dow shrivels to a 2-point loss. Aetna plunges as it forecasts higher medical costs. New home sales slip, hurting builders such as Pulte.

It is time the oil companies paid some taxes....The 10 million is for a quarter. Anything else would be the subject of an investigition and profit control. The billions last year in tax breaks look pretty sad now.
