AWESOME post there.

Can’t be stressed enough.

The oil companies EARN about 7 cents profit per gallon after all the up front costs of exploring, drilling, capturing, refining, marketing and transporting that oil.
The govt forces the oil companies to be tax collectors at a rate of 48 cents and up.
Saw earlier where some freepers were putting post it notes on gas pumps to remind customers of who causes the high gas prices. I am going to start putting post its on the pump with these figures and at the bottom, “who is the profiteer here?”
Bet even schumer doesn’t even know this and couldn’t comprehend the tax/profit difference if he was told of it.
