Gas Taxes are fixed per gallon and not based on a percentage. So when gas prices rise, the gov't doesn't gain.
When a company makes more than Microsoft & Walmart COMBINED in a QTR when they were complaining about damage to facilities and BLAH Freakin BLAH, then I'll call BULLSH!T </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I can’t believe people are so freaked out about big profits. It’s the American way. That is why business exist, to maximize profits. I just say they are well run corporations.
Now we have dumb ass members of congress taking about a windfall profits tax. Isn’t that great, we are going to let the government decide when a company makes too much money.
If you don’t like the price of gas don’t buy it.
