Plus we have presidential candidates like Obama talking about taxing oil company profits. No one mentions that government makes more on oil company revenues than even the oil companies. That tax would add at least another 50 cents or more to the price of a gallon of gas.
Also.. no one mentions how much in taxes the oil companies pay every year. I believe I read that Exxon pays more in taxes than the lower 50% of US citizens combined. That equals around 30 billion in taxes for one oil company. Good for them they are making profits.
Congress sucks. (or any career political person for that matter)
