No, it's an assumption. If the best you can come up with is finding new ways to take wealth from the people who earned it and give to people who did'nt earn it, well I'd rather you just did'nt bother at all.

Now, if you had the gutsd to say, "hey, I don't mind to pay $5 for a gal of gas, maybe even $6 or $7 in the future ... " I would find that acceptable.
But, that's not what you're saying and I strongly doubt that you'll bring this over your lips with a clean conscience.
Ps, You fail to assess and present the situation correctly.
It's not about profits that can be made by selling oil, it's about profits that already have been made and not shabby either. From your money as well as mine, with no improvement being delivered (that only by the way)
But apparently you don't mind paying for it ...:

What sort of "improvements" were you expecting, shinier gas pumps, cleaner toilets.
Gas is basically a commodity, you squeeze the handle it goes in your tank and off you go.
If you don't like the amount of money they make stop using the product. I'm willing to bet that no one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to buy the product

You can, it's called buying stock and participating in the dividends. If you had an
ounce of business and or finance knowledge you'd know that. Personally, I own as much
stock in oil companies as my tolerance for risk will allow me to own. So...you keep
pumping that gas into your tank and I'l keep putting those dividends in my pocket.
It's good to be a capitalist pig.

I live in the real world, the world where people are responsible for their own actions.
you just hang out there in your little world and wait for the grovernment to come along and
solve your problems for ya. Let me know how it works out for you.
