I am sick and tired of the oil companies making obscene profits at the expense of working people.

They make less rate of return on their investment than most other industries. The numbers seem huge because the companies are huge.

All you're saying is that you're philosophically opposed to huge companies which is irrational.

If they need to make a bigger margin, then maybe they should go into other products, with higher returns. The increase in huge profits are directly proportional to the higher pump price.
