oil company profits on 1 gallon of gasoline.. $.09-$.10

average taxes on 1 gallon of gasoline.. $.43-$.49

wondering why politicians are pointing crooked fingers at the evil big oil companies? Wondering why the hildebeast wants to TAX big oil companies (who will past that on to the consumer anyways...(remember the Valdez).
Ask yourself why they (the politicians) aren't going after BANKS,PHAMACUTICALS,and TECHNOLOGIES...all who have made more in profits than oil companies.....could it be the always easy to increase gasoline tax?. Listen to the "gawks" coming out of hillery...tax tax tax "gawk"..tax tax tax

What I want to is who died, and gave the environmentalists the right to run America, and why we're not standing up to them?

Taxes only capture a bit of the profits made by all those who produce and refine, invest in, and deliver oil to the consumer. Removing the taxes would not be expected to affect the retail price of gasoline at the pump which is set by product demand. It would, however, allow cheaper gasoline be delivered to the pump. There is no guarantee that tax-free gasoline would be sold at a price below market value. In short, retail prices are set by market demands, not by the cost of getting the product to the consumer. Ex: Which ounce of gold would you sell cheapest, an ounce you purchased for $6.00 or the ounce you purchased for $600?
