Remember when gas was getting really "expensive?" The oil companies made record profits. I would rather that be a tax than for the oil companies who are clearly price gouging.


Did you forget that when fuel went over 2.50, every shipping company and airline was adding a fuel sur-charge to their invoices?

Do you think that just because there's a luxury tax on fuel, the oil companies are going to quit meeting their profit margin? So, let me get this right... on top of the oil companies margin, you want uncle Sam to take a bigger cut than he already is. I don't understan how that is going to help anything?

Maybe explain the concept to me so I can see the light.
