Your cynicism is getting in the way of your perception.
You didn't answer my questions either?
But I did answer your question you just chose not to see it.

Then the supply starts to get thin.

How does that happen?

It's much easier to whine about conspiracies than to look at the facts.

My my you are sarcastic aren't you.
Is your opinion the only valid one?
Did I say it was only oil co. greed? No I didn't did I.
The countries with the oil stick it to us as well.
If we had a gov that raised tariffs on all goods to those countries the same amount they raise oil they probably wouldn't raise oil so easily.

Check oil co profits and see if they are just getting by.

Tax here is 44 cents a gallon but that is the same when gas was $1.00 a gallon a while ago so what does that prove?

HUH??? I'm not the one crying about oil prices and claiming conspiracies, you are. Where the hell is your head?

You haven't asked any that made any sense.

But I did answer your question you just chose not to see it.

No, you continue to make idiotic statements that are not based in fact.

No, but your lack of knowledge invalidates yours.

I don't have to check, I know. Oil companies usually deal in profits in the single digits as far as profits go. In other words, Exxon may have made a profit of $1,000,000,000 (hypothetical), but as a precentage to their cost, it would be in the 1 to 5% range. That is operating on a slim margin.

It proves that the government is making more profit off of a barrel of oil than the companies that explored for it, produced it, refined it and sell it. But that is OK with a socialist such as yourself, right?
