I think Bill O’Reilly wants to drag the oil companies before Congress. Hillary wants to take all their profits. Obama will probably try to nationalize them. How about leaving things alone and letting the best economic system in all of world history work things out?

Oil companies make a lower percentage profit on gasoline than the government takes in taxes.

Why would they charge you $2.00/gallon when you are willing to pay $4.00 or $5.00? The demand will not fall one bit. Sure people will bitch and whine but they will keep filling up, driving 100 mph, taking off like its a Drag Strip, and then bitch and whine when they fill up again.
Simple economics...
