Steamed up my afternoon

Sorry bro, but I am against profits for productive companies.

This is the key and is what the story should actually be about:

"For every gallon of gasoline and other products we refined and sold in the United States, we earned about 7 cents," said a statement from Exxon vice president Ken Cohen. "Compare that to the 40 to 60 cents per cents per gallon that went to the government (state and federal) in gasoline taxes."

Remember, the gubment does nothing to find, drill, refine and distribute.
