[QUOTE="aplusmnt, post: 380202, member: 1399"] You want to talk crazy profits? In 2004 America was buying about 382 million gallons of gasoline per day. The average tax per gallon of gas nationwide is 42 cents per gallon. That means the State and Federal government collected 160 million dollars per day in gas taxes. Figure that for the whole year and state and federal governments received around 58 Billion Dollars for just one year. I wonder what there profit margin was on this? Bet it was a lot higher than the oil companies! That is $58,000,000,000 the government gets a year off of the gas we buy. And that does not count the income taxes that they also collect from oil companies and their employees. The Government is making 100's of billions of dollars off of the oil industry every year!
