BOUGHT BY BIG OIL On Thursday, July 31, 2008, the day this website was launched, Exxon Mobil announced a second-quarter profit of $11.7 billion – the biggest quarterly profit ever by any U.S. corporation. Exxon Mobil made more money every 60 seconds than most families earn in a year. On that same day, the national average price of gas was $3.91 – up from $2.87 a year before and $1.51 since oilman George Bush took office. Coincidence? Republicans have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Big Oil, while voting to give oil companies massive tax breaks. Sky-high contributions. Billion dollar tax breaks. Soaring gas prices. Record oil company profits. Republicans are Bought by Big Oil.
