Sample Lecture – Big Oil Companies

On the contrary, oil companies do more harm than good.

For starters, big oil eliminates jobs to increase profits. Last year, oil companies
reduced their work force by 25% while profits were up 50% percent. This trend
does not appear to be changing.

Also, oil companies avoid paying taxes by moving overseas. One company,
Hamilton, moved to Dubai to reduce its U.S. corporate tax rate. How does this help
our roads and bridges?

Worse, petroleum products are the number one cause of global warming. Every day
cars pour billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. CO2 has been directly linked
to the greenhouse effect.

The evidence is clear: Oil companies do more harm than good.
