“oil companies are making record profits gouging their customers. This bill would tax only the excess profits and create forward-thinking transportation alternatives.”

If they call setting the market price “gouging,” I’m gonna rename the Democratic party “poop,” and no one will vote for them because that’s yucky.

FWIW, crude oil proces are set by bid, not by the seller, but the buyer, with a smidgin of futures speculation thrown in.

No one wants their refinery to run dry, because no matter the cost of feedstocks, you can't make any money without product.
