Re: "I thought about it. "Taxes on gasoline are far greater than oil company profits on gasoline." That would be a good argument except for one thing. Taxes on gasoline are paid by the consumer. They are added in to the price per gallon at the pump." What is your major problem here? Who said taxes on gas AREN'T paid by the consumer or collected at the pump? Oil company profits are also paid by the consumer, no one else, and collected at the pump. Did I mention which was larger by far than the other? I think I did. Mine still seems like a good argument.
