Wayne separate fact from fiction. As the original post depicts the government makes more from gasoline sales than all of the oil companies put together. For instance in 2011 Exxon made seven cents per gallon.
The only reason I bothered to post this thread was to alert voter/taxpayers who the real culprits are here. Forget the political propaganda and party loyalty and think about how Congress has managed to dig deeply into taxpayers pockets. They are hurting both Republicans and Democrats equally
