"10% of 800 billion is still alot of damn money."
Do you have any idea how much money they pump into research and development, exploration and general overhead? A heck of a lot more than 10% of 800 billion. At this scale, you can only deal in percentages, and EXXON-Mobile is doing just moderately well. If the feds go after them because of mob hysteria exhibited by the likes of you, they will be doing poor.
