Answer 2

Good idea to tax big oil companies. They have more money then little oil companies.

A bank robbers was once asked, "Why do you rob banks?" His answer, "Because that's where they keep the money!"

The oil companies will pass the tax increases on to us. NO, please say it ain't so. Next thing you'll be tell us is the free ketchup packets at McDonald's are actually built into the price of fries. Oh Lordy, there's no more free lunch.  

Answer 3

When will you figure out that Big Oil companies are not your friend, they are out to make as much money as possible. They will charge what you will pay regardless of taxes.

Exxon Mobil earned more than $1,287 of profit for every second of 2007, I doubt they will NEED to raise their prices if their taxes go up.
