is'nt funny how everyone loves apple but hates oil companies?!!!?
apple now trades at over 300$ a share and is one the biggest companies in the world along with the oil. everyone always talks about " the greedy oil compaines" they are making to huge profits!" there evil... bla bla blaaaa blaa you get. but everyone is " i love apple! lets wait in line for days" hor ayy for apple and huge profits!!!!" but the funny part is that thousands of jobs are overseas and has a monoply over much of there products and there making huge products. oil companys however have created MILLIONS of jobs in america, and the gov gets billions of taxes. every time they start a new drill tons of jobs are created! 42 billion $$ in taxes for the top 3 in texas. so i wonder what company is better??
also wanted to say i have nothing against apple, i 2 love their products and steve jobs is inspriational but istill think it could do more for america.

This is like comparing apples to oranges... You're forgetting:
1. Apple products are not a necessity. They are a luxury. While we can technically live without oil; it's not practical in today's society.
2. Apple has competition. Google. Microsoft. Oil companies don't - they've all merged.
3. Oil actively stems and buys government officials (lobbies is the word they use) to eliminate competition and clean energy. They could theoretically have competition but don't. Google's droid, for instance, actually is creeping up and beating out the market share for smart phones. I'm sure that'll swing back with the next iphone a little.
4. Oil also indisputably harms the environment. Apple products don't have that impact (though it could be argued they have some negative impact.)

For argument's sake, enable's say we are on Bizzarro-Earth and those %'s are even remotely on the brink of the actuality.. How am i able to place this.... Liberals are no longer against companies making a income, a lot as what they do to MAKE that income. Apple Inc isn't any angel yet a minimum of they are not a million degree of separation from all 4 goddamned Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Maybe because Apple doesn't randomly raise its price for products and oil companies such as BP do? Oh, by the way, Y! Answers is not a forum.
