In dollar amounts, they are huge. Record profits posted across the board by all the major companies.

Percentage of revenues to profit doesn't mean anything to you? Why is keep 10¢ on the dollar out of line? If they were broken up into many smaller companies so that each one's total was little, but the same amount of money was kept, would that be better to you?

If profit margin by U.S. oil refiners has shot up 158% since 1999 (the year Exxon and Mobil merged). The consumer’s price has also gone up by a huge amount. Are you suggesting they not related?
