10%......see there ya go. How many businesses make 10% profit? A lot.

If you get past the inflammatory #'s (billions)......it's a 10% profit (I'll take your word for it). Why didn't you word it that way if you knew the numbers?

And out of these profits the US Gov't will expect them to keep up with demand.....even though the tree-hugging party won't allow any more refineries to be built.....OR for us to tap enormous resources we have on US soil.

You keep pulling THAT lever and keepcrying about gas prices and oil companies "windfall profits". Doesn't make much sense, to me.
