If American oil companies only make 8 cents on the dollar. Is my business going to get windfall taxed too?!?
And how much is too much. Hell the government contracts guarantee 6-7 cents on the dollar. Exxons huge profits stems from their size and volume of buisiness. If they broke up into twenty smaller companies, their numbers would be acceptable and they would avoid a windfall tax based on the overall dollar amount of profit. But each mini exxon, making 8 cents on the dollar, would not change fuel costs a bit. Oh, and to all you calling for a boycott of Exxon and going to some other fuel station. Kind of dumb to leave an American company to pay a foreign one.

- Democrats twist the oil companies' profits to make it sound like they are cheating the consumer. They government makes about 3 times what the oil companies do on a gallon of gas and they do none of the work. But that's what you get with liberals.
