Answer 1

For each dollar profit, the government gets a percentage... the higher the price of gas, the higher the taxes paid to the government.  Where does all this money really go???

Okay, so, I'm not even going to bother researching your claim.  Let's just say it is true for the sake of argument... So, think about his... you come up with this brainy idea of selling lemonade on the street corner, right... it costs you 25 cents a cup to make.  You sell it for a buck.  People love your lemonade, so they fall in long lines to have some lemonade... you see lots and lots of people in line not getting lemonade because you just sold your last cup.  You go home.  The next day, a line is waiting for your lemonade... You sell it for 2 bucks.  Same thing, line was still long when you packed up.  The next day, you sell it for 5 bucks.  People still fell in line for lemonade.  The next day you sell it for 10 bucks.  You become a millionaire.  Now, would you think you are greedy???  Why?  If the people think your lemonade is too expensive, they will stop falling in line for it.  Why would that make YOU the greedy one?

So, you think Bill Gates is greedy too?  What about the Waltons of WalMart?  Basically, what you are saying is... if you want to make more money you are greedy.  Well, hurrah then.  Let's just all go make 5 dollars an hour and call it a day!

Just giving you another perspective on the theory of economics...

And who owns Exxon and Shell,  millions of every day guys and gals thru their 401K and IRA.

It is a private company, it needs no more control.

Go to France or Russia if you want that that of socialist controls.

Maybe they should just stop sell gasoline, would that make you happy.
