Bush Defends Exxon/Mobil Profits

DenverPost.com - NATION/WORLD

How much money are his family and friends making off of this?

Bush:
"I think that basically the price is determined by the marketplace and that's the way it should be."

I understand the marketplace and economics, and it is hard to argue against that. However, isn't there a point, when you are making millions and millions of dollars, more than you can find a way to spend, that you find it more ethical to lower your margins, give up making that next few million dollars profit, and give the poor and neglected a chance to afford the things they need? Whatever happened to looking out for one another and helping your fellow man?
