Re: "What is the basis for your belief that the oil companies are not gouging." Odd that you would say that when I said no such thing. You need a healthy respect for the incredible work and costs associated with bringing gasoline to us. Given that and a willingness to allow oil companies to do what they do, we can see that our oil troubles might be few today, wouldn't you agree? The notion that we can tax oil companies and not affect prices (and other things) remains ludicrous no matter how many times A.S. says it. Taxes on gasoline are far greater than oil company profits on gasoline. Please think hard upon the last sentence, keeping in mind the costs of future needed exploration and production. Should government attack oil with further taxes, or should government give back some of its cut? What a botch job it would be for us if government ruled completely over oil companies, wouldn't you agree? If you think I haven't addressed your point, you are in part correct. Likewise, you did not address mine. Dan B.
