[quote user="wsherrick"] <p>Everyone seems to mention how much money the oil companies are making but never how much the Government hammers us in taxes per gallon. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Yes, and on each dollar's worth of gasoline we buy, the <strong><em><u>taxes are greater than the profit</u></em></strong> made by the oil company that produced that gasoline. Yet we hear nothing about the greed of taxation.</p><p><a href="http://www.taxfoundation.org/blog/show/1140.html">http://www.taxfoundation.org/blog/show/1140.html</a></p><p>In exchange for the profit made by the oil companies, they risked their own money as capital to look for oil, get it out of the ground, turn it into gasoline, and get it to the dealer. What do we get from the government's portion of our dollar, other than a wild spending spree on things nobody needs?</p>
