I'm back to thinking I just may sit this election out.
I expect Obama to be ignorant of economics and call for windfall profits taxes on oil companies, but McCain has basically done the same thing, saying that oil companies should "give back to the consumer".
I say they do give back. They put gasoline at virtually every other frickin corner so I can get access to it for my needs. It's worth a profit. This is all about volume, not margin. I read that 127 other Fortune 500 companies make a higher profit margin than Exxon.
Freakin idiot politicians.
