People that complain about oil companies making a killing on profit aren't usually looking at the flip side and seeing how much of a killing the government is making off the taxes. I'm glad that my state is pretty progressive with taxes and our state is looking into a tax holiday for fuel from Memorial day - Labor day.
What's makes the government even worse is that you're choosing to buy gasoline, but you're not choosing to pay taxes.
It's just easier to blame companies because in this country the left wingers propaganda of OMG companies = eval has been effective and most Americans believe our government is our friend.
The government is supposed to be our friend because we elected it and it is supposed to be of the people, and for the people, but I suppose the Founding Fathers really hated the government.
