Default Re: That'll show them

Fiesty, the oil companies make about 4% profit on their oil. They have to pump it, refine it, store it and distribute it.

The Federal Government makes about 15% via taxes. I'm no big fan of oil companies, but much more of your gas money is going to the government than it is the oil companies' profits.

Obama doesn't want to reduce the tax burden, even temporarily. McCain does.
