Exxon Mobile puts the cost of taxes into every gallon they sell. Its the consumer who pays the taxes.

Wrong... The taxes you are paying are consumption taxes tacked onto the final cost per gallon of gas. The oil companies never see that money.

Don’t buy their gas then. One of Exxon’s most important payments is to their millions of investors. The biggest corporation in the world should make a profit, and their profit is only 8 to 10 percent. Of course consumers have to pay more because of taxes. That’s the governments doing, not Exxon.
