How true, as I watch all my neighbors driving big SUVs and not the least bit concerned about what it cost, they all voted in favor of tall the legislators in this state as well as the governor to follow Jeb bush. I own stocks inXOM and CVX and think they are hard working companies trying to do their best, but the taxex on oil are horribel and by the way so is the taxex on our telephone bill. Isn't there a bette way to gain revenue?

We are at war because of oil and buying from people who hate us. There should be a $1 a gallon "War on Terror Tax". Europeans pay on par of $3 a gallon.
Oil and the military-instrial complex are very much a key problem. We need energy indepence, as Gerry Ford advocated.

Here in Germany upwards of 70% goes to the government. I laugh at your 20%. :P

Over 50% of my investments are in Oil Stocks. I have a degree in Geology. I work for a state Highway department. Let me be concise, for many people in this country getting to work by a single occupant car is a gigantic waste. I suggest bicycling, walking, bussing, carpooling. In the absence of these reasonable alternatives, I foresee much higher gas prices ahead. I want to contribute to these higher prices,for my ownership of oil stocks I suggest withholding supply today as we will sell it to you later at higher prices. I want $4.00 gallon within 5 years, $8.00 gallon within decade. It is partially my oil, I feel no need to contribute to America's wastefull ways.

Your comments regarding Big Oil would be more credible if you used the correct spelling of Exxon Mobil Corp

In reply to 2 and 4, I suggest that drug dealers and criminals, instead of selling crack, start STEALING gasoline and sell bootleg gasoline for $1.50 per gallon. I would patronize them in a second. Hopefully I could contribute to your stock's decline as repayment for your arrogance.
