I can list a dozen oil companies that compete against each other for your gas dollar.

No you can't. There isn't a one cent difference in the price of gas at any station in Billings, MT. One goes up, they all go up. One goes down, they all go down, keeping the same price bar none. I can throw a rock from downtown and hit any one of three "competing" refinery's. Many if not all States have a minimum price that any station can charge at the pump, nice FRee Enterprise system you're touting there. Blackbird.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with the miniscule margin oil companies make. By knocking a 100% legitimate business, with tons of competition, and who em-ploy tens of thousands of people around the world in high-paying careers, all while providing a much needed product, for making a profit, you sound far more radical-left wing than Hillary Clinton. Go get some fact, and not just bleeding heart liberal anticapitalist talking points, and we can have an intelligent discussion. For now, you certainly are lacking the intelligent part.
