If the oil companies are making approx. 19 cents a gallon (and they made billions) and the government is making almost 50 cents a gallon in taxes...
Why aren't Americans upset with the insane profits that the government is making.
I guess I just don't understand. The angst seems misdirected.

The oil company profit per gallon is actually about 9 cents a gallon which makes your point even more poignant.

This is not quite right. They make 8.2 cents per gallon!
