Gas Price Rant

They sell a HUGE amount of the stuff. What bothers me (and the fact that the media won't put a # on it) is how much the government makes off it. The oil companies make about $0.05 per gallon. The government makes about $0.47 per gallon.

That's just a song and dance. They all are ef'in us...
