Oil companies average 4% profit while the government takes 15% profit (whoops, I mean tax). Who is profiting from our country’s “addiction to oil”?

Unless you're a gigantic corporation that's exploited this country's addiction to petroleum for years at immense profits.

Oh, so I guess they're supposed to just give it away for free - it's your right doncha' know. White privilege and all that...

"...Unless you're a gigantic corporation that's exploited this country's addiction to petroleum for years at immense profits..."

That was the first thing I thought about too! Unless he is referring to the State and Federal governments, who add on way, WAY more in taxes than the "gigantic corporations" have obtained in profits.

At least those "gigantic corporations" do something like OBTAIN THE OIL FROM THE GROUND!
