| Compare the profit margin of the oil sector to such industries as pharmaceuticals and banking. Note that it makes some 8 cents on each dollar of sales while these other industries make 18 or 19 cents on each dollar.
The AVG combined TAX on a gallon of gas it about 47 cents a gallon (28.6 State avg/18.4 federal avg) (wikipedia). That means YOUR gov't makes about 6 TIMES what the "BIG" oil companies do on a gallon of gas. WHO are the REAL crooks here?
