Yeah, let's stick it to the oil companies...who have little to do with the price at the pump.
Some of you need to Google: "Futures Trading", and enlighten yourselves.
And there have been countless investigations by countless AG's that always come to the very same conclusions...there is absolutely no evidence of any oil company manipulating prices illegally.
But, I guess if we want to live in a carbon free world, we need to destroy the biggest producers of carbon products.
OR....if we want to get to the bottom of the situation, and find out the facts of why we really have high prices, we will start looking at the tax revenues that are generated from each gallon of fuel sold. Or perhaps we could look at govenrmental regulation and restrictions that drive the prices up?
And for those who gripe about the insane profits that the oil mfgs make, consider that these companies are restricted from investing profits. Another company may well have an annual profit gain of 30%, yet he invests some of the capital on new equipment and facilites, which shows his bottom line as less than 30%...whereas the oil mfg who clears the same percentage of profit, is restricted from investing his proficts in new plants or oil exploration, and has no choice but to post the 30%.
And dang their hides for making money!
