All they want is to make things more convieent for them, they will still hold and raise thier prices. America it's time for a revolt, all the medical companies, oil comany executives, etc... should be prosecuted and imprisoned or worse. It's time to stop the fleecing of America, the super rich want us as slaves. The oil companies are now trying to convince us that drilling in Alaska and the Gulf is a good thing.

But to get to the main line point, The Us Govt started a gas tax in this country to fund world war 2. It was never repealed, and all the states got into the act, creating one of the biggest contributors to the increase in prices of oil over the years at the pump, case/point Ohio has a 22.2% tax with 18% fed tax on top, so lets see 40 cents PER GALLON PRofit to a Company that does NOTHING.. and you call the oil companies greedy??
