The oil interests are playing us, and you are just one of the flock. Tell me something. Why did the oil companies with the largest profit in our history, just get a huge tax break with the energy bill?
Same reason that our government is letting then fuck us now.

Their profit margin is pointless. We are using very close to every drop of gas that is refined now and 10% of the nations production is HUGE. It's not small. This is on top of the lost oil production from the area and will continue for a long time. Charge 2 cents or $20.00 a gallon and you still can't use more gas than is being produced.
