While the media continues to blame the big oil companies for gouging U.S. motorists as they collect record breaking profits, the windfall profits raked in by the government in the form of energy tax revenue actually dwarf the oil companies’ jackpot.

Yes, how dare they do preventive maintenance when they switch from making Home Heating to to Unleaded Gas. Why can’t they do it in the middle of production?

Isn’t it about 50 cents per gallon that the oil companies make? Where does that other $2.50 go, Harry?

despite government tax gouging on oil industry revenue, Democrats like Sen. Charles Schumer want to raise energy taxes even more -

The U.S. Senate's top Democrat on Tuesday accused big oil companies of shutting down refineries temporarily to raise gasoline prices and rake in"obscene profits." Once again demonstrating that they're economic illiterates. Unfortunately, so are too many Americans.

Big Oil watched Al Gore’s movie and became alarmed about Global Warming so they raised the prices on gas so people would drive less. :)

Isn't it interesting every year about this time, a refinery goes down for repairs," said Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid They have to drain the pipes and tanks to get ready for the summer blend you politicians mandate at frequent intervals. It isn't just one refinery. It's all of them.

The nitwit Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats have refused to allow domestic oil drilling and they're outraged at $3.00 a gallon gas prices? Why, its the supply and demand, stupid!

Hey, if you they want it, they don’t have to buy it. I may complain all the way to the pump, but I’m there nonetheless. It’s the way it works. Maybe they could carpool instead of taking their limos and huge SUVs.

Well..............if the Dems. think they can pass a bill and bring down gas prices, let them try.
If all you had to do to lower gas prices was to pass a bill in Congress, it would have been done years ago.
The refinery capacity is tight because of environmental regulations making it difficult to build new refineries.
Environmental regulations requiring different formulations of gas in different seasons and different parts of the country add to the problem.
The same people who carp about high gas prices are the same people who are against building new refineries, against alternatives such as drilling for more domestic oil, against using more coal, even clean coal technology, and against nuclear power.
Part of our energy problems are because the enviro-Democratic lobbies are against everything that might help.

Benedict Arnold Harry Reid's colleagues in crime have also refused to approve the construction of new oil refineries.

There is yearly routine maintenance shut down for refineries in the months of April or May depending on the refinery and that has been happening for decades. In fact portions of the refineries shut down and others remain up running. There is never a total shut down of any refinery when they are doing their yearly maintenance. However idiot Reid wants to lie and say that the big oil shut down their refineries.
