Anyone with a few hundred bucks can own a percentage ownership interest in the oil companies and share in the profits. So while the execs can take their yachts to the Riveria, I can drive my Chevy to the Gulf Coast--and I am enjoying your hard-earned money. Glad you saw fit to do business with us , since we provide the most cost-effective and plentiful fuel for your life.

Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's goods.

It's amazing the losers I read here who think it is evil to make a profit from what you do, especially if you are a manager or owner and not the worker.

Go to the Soviet Union if you have a problem with success.
We should encourage success, no scorn or be jealous of it.

Yes you can invest in companies. Companies pay oodles of taxes, especially payroll taxes.
no companies, no check for workers; get how that works?

Seems people like to be jealous of those that can do and earn better than average money.
Pathetic, never going to get them anywhere and the jobs come from the top down, never from the bottom up. Be careful to not kill the golden goose.
