When did they say they were hurting? "They" didn't drive gas prices that high. Exxon has no more control over the price at the pump than politicians do. Futures and commodities markets are far too complex and fickle to simply be controlled by whatever fat cat decides he needs a new fleet or LearJets.
This is true but if it goes back up im buying a freakin syfin(sp) and stealing it from now on.
and how many illegals do you know get distribution licenses so they can buy straight from the warehouse?
The only ways to get around the Fair Tax are to either be too poor to afford shit in the first place, steal, or buy everything second hand which is going to be impossible when it comes to food. But at the end of the day just about everything will be taxed at least once, even those second hand items.
No it's not. With inflation factored in gas companies should be charging over three dollars a gallon. Considering their volume, smaller companies have been much more profitable. The numbers just look intimidating when you are scared of large numbers.
The feds make more money in taxes per gallon than oil companies earn in profit.
I honestly dont know enough on this subject to argue it(gasoline) but when you hear the reasons for gas prices being raised due to the hurricanes and the war constantly being said it pisses you off to hear that they made more money than ever.
They been making more money every year since 1970...

Walmart made 315~ billion last year. About 15 billion less than ExxonMobil. I dont hear you complaining about them.

And again, they don't decide the prices. Neither do politicians so all the ding dongs saying "gas prices are gonna go up after the elections!

We are all a working member in society, and we all do our part in different ways. Be it paying taxes or eating your shit. It all balances out somewhere down the line. Do you truly feel the gov't is cheating you?
You don't? $250 million dollar bridge to nowhere? Welfare recipients popping out kids to get bigger checks? Illegals given driver's licenses and medicare cards? Schools building olympic sized swimming pools instead of buying new textbooks? Do you honestly believe that the government spends our money wisely?
