Are you series? Even here on FR, we have the ‘Evil Big Oil’ types. Get over it. Oil is a commodity, the price is not set by Oil Companies. Their profits, while large lately, are still only 1/4 of the taxation we pay to by the gasoline. The bastiges they should be protesting are BigFedGov!!
—the price is not set by Oil Companies—
Really, then who sets the price of gasoline etc. in the United States if NOT the oil companies. They are the ones selling it, so they set the price. Some hounding of executives of ConAgra, ADF etc. for the rise in grain products prices (”Ethanol is the devil that made us do it”) would also be in order. Without some old-fashioned ball-bustin’, these folks will never change their ways.
