Dear misinformed....
Exxon makes 8 to 10 cents a gallon on gasoline.
The state and federal government taxes it at $0.68 to $0.80 a gallon.
http://www.api.org/statistics/fueltaxes/ That does not include crude oil import taxes.
Who is the sucker?

What PERCENTAGE of ASSETS is that?

And we hand them 4 billion a year (and $4.15 a gallon). Infuriating. Stunningly stupid, noob. I hope the thread set you straight. Worry about real handouts to unions and dead end "green economy" smoke and mirrors.
Buy a clue before you post more crap like this.

I don’t understand how raising taxes on the oil industry will make gasoline cheaper.
