The oil companies did make record breaking profits, Profits mind you not net.

I think when they report profits, those are new profits.

With profits that large they are taking maybe a bit more than what they should

And what should they take? Who do you think knows the norm?

Its not up to me to set what they take. I would say its up to their conscience,but i am sure they dont have one.

I am sure they take what they feel the traffic will bear.

Whatever they take it isnt up to Hillary to decide,any more than its up to me.

We also have to remember that places like Venezuala who steal from the oil companies by nationalising them,take a large share of those profits away. Capitolism thrives on not telling people what their profit should be I can just state an opinion , Mine is that they may be taking a bit more than they should,but if you dont want to pay it, dont drive.
