One side usually feels angry and sad and takes the position that if they see anyone else that's happy it must be because happiness (or the cause of happiness) got stolen. These sad angry people decide that the only reason that nobody else wants anything to do with them is some kind of conspiracy. Of course the real reason is that these sad angry people are dangerous.
The other side of the conflict are people happy with a lot or a little, and what these people really like is working hard and doing good. When this group buys and sells things they make big profits because others trust them.
I know this is simplified down but I'm talking about a problem we all have of keeping track of what side we're on. We got to remember that it's just not healthy to covet other peoples oil or stuff. There's no benefit to be gained by hating others or wanting bad things to happen to them.
If it's really true that the oil companies are making huge profits, than anyone can buy oil company stocks. At the moment I'm checking out REM, UNT, FTO, PTR, CRK, SGY, and NBL. REM is my favorite-- it's up 20% so far this year. You can buy a share for about $30, (plus maybe a $5 commission depending on who you hire for a broker). If more people bought oil stock then these oil company borrowing costs would go down and they could afford to lower the price of their oil, increase market share and make bigger profits and the bidding on their stock will soar.
