Since companies exist to maximize profits for their investors that probably wouldn't work very well but what would work is for the tax collectors to give up their chunk of change. .38 a gallon (here in Texas) isn't much, but it's a start.
Perhaps when goobermint types that are supposed to represent us (and don't produce a drop of gas) lead the way and relax taxes corporations can start thinking along those lines.
I ain't waiting for pigs to fly.
I understand all that. However, what I don't understand, are these oil people invested in anything else? The reason I ask is because people are going to cut back on everything else they buy. I know I have certainly cut back on nearly everything. No choice.
