Most people don't realize that the demonizing of oil companies is really quite ironic because in spite of their record profits they pay 4-5 times the amount of their profits in taxes. If they didn't have to pay taxes on each step of production then their profits would be 4-5 times as much.

Or gas would be a lot less expensive for the consumer.

But... since the people who collect taxes that shall remain nameless are 4-5 times as bad as the oil companies... well.... you make the call.
