Default RE: $ + $ Gas Prices $ + $

We as the public need to start raising hell with our elected leaders. Inform them that we elected them and unless they (our leaders) start doing something to stop the billions of dollars in profit big oil is making, then we will elect someone who will do something. I would not mind 3.00 a gallon if it cost 2.30 or so to make and the oil companies were making profit in the millions. It is when they report billions of dollars in profit that makes me angry

I don't think our present elected officials are going to do anything, because the Big Oil
companies are the ones that BANK/Fund their Election Campaigns : (
They have just become puppets. Whose pulling the strings ?

Are you proposing that Govt take over the Oil Companies? Trust me you do not want that.

Just how much profit would you think is the correct amount? Right now they only make about ten cents a gallon of gas, Yes when you add up all the gallons of gas sold that amounts to Billions. So how much profit should they be allowed to Make?
I guarantee that other companies have a much higher profit on each item sold.

Should we also limit places like wal mart on how much profit they can make?
