"What, they want even MORE profits?..."
Good job for falling for an age-old brainwashing technique.
Here's a question. If they lumped profits into the crude oil percentage would you be even more outraged?
Getting tired of folks like you who expect companies to give their products away for free.
Good day comrade
I do not expect any company to give products away for free.
But you can't sit there and expect me to be stupid enough to think for one minute, that too many people and politicians are not profiting WAY more than they should over this oil situation.
Paleeze. I'm only being "realistic".
Also, my point I was making earlier, was basically this:
Yes, the average profit on a gallon of gas is 6 to 9 cents. But the govt, which does nothing to provide the gas and therefore incurs no cost, and actually drives up the cost with an infinity of regulations, makes a profit of up to 40 cents a gallon (whatever it is you're paying in taxes at the pump). It's the govt that's price-gouging, not the oil companies.
