Without profit you don't have wages and salaries you moron! Well...50% profit pays all that...500% profit is just obsurd. Where are you getting those numbers? The CA governemnt gets $0.33 on the gallon. Pure profit! And the CA governemnt does absolutely NOTHING to explore for it, extract it, refine it, ship and distribute it. The average profit the actual gas company makes? Around $0.04 to $0.08 on the gallon. Who is gouging who here? Learn the truth before you make yourself look like an idiot. First of all...you'e buying gas company issued statements on who gets what. The state is supposed to use that tax on roads, police, safety, etc. That's fine, that's where it should go (even though it probably doesn't which is the real problem). The gas company and the profit you've quoted is total fabrication. A gas station makes about that much...sometimes as high as 20 cents a gallon. However...the gas COMPANY, like Chevron, Mobile, etc., all posted profits in the 100's of billions. You're going to tell me that's not GOOD ENOUGH? Are you going to tell me that's not close to 500%? Here's the deal. The main people getting rich are two groups. The middle eastern families that own the oil and those people that own the gas companies. The families are eating gold they're so rich, and the gas company owners own extreme amounts of property and industry. So...you're okay with takin it up the ass so that some sultan can have gold thread sheets? YOU'RE THE IDIOT. You're okay with taking it up the ass so that a gas company exec can get a 1,000,000 bonus? YOU'RE THE IDIOT. No, its not a fabrication. I don't see you railing against Big Milk or Big Water. Their profit margins make oil companies look like a bunch of pikers. Educate yourself instead of believing socialist propaganda. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 25017812 United States 10/05/2012 03:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | why isn't the price of gasoline pegged to the value Quoting: dr.einstein of oil at the well-head, and let's let's be done with all of this periodic and regular price-gouging by the fuel distributors. Because you first pump crude oil then you move it to a refinery then you refine it, then you refine it some more, then you have to have a built and maintained gas station waiting to receive it when the tanker shows up. The people involved in all parts of the process need to get paid so they have a reason to go to work? Therefore a profit must be made ? The price of gasoline is fairly constant, but the "cash" in your pocket is losing value, Dollar,Pound,Euro, Yen or whatever. Try reading about 'Fiat money' and 'Supply and Demand.' It might help. |

Even if people get food locally, Cali is still a factor. Cali supplies water to 3 states, power all the way to Colorado, food to every state in the U.S., education to millions of nonresidents, etc. Our economy is vital, even as trashed as it is. Our agriculture is all that saved the mid west this year. I deal in hay and I can tell you for the time in several years there is no extra hay in the barns here. We sold millions of tons to the mid west and foreign countries to keep their cattle/horses/sheep/goats alive. Because of that, I used to get alfalfa for 175/ton, now it's 365/ton. All because we saved a lot of other people and now we're paying the price for it. That's the whole reason behind the massive cattle slaughter the day after Bernanke printed that last 1 trillion. He promised to subsidize the meat markets because they would lose money by putting so much meat into the market at once but they couldn't find feet to keep their cattle going until late october like normal. |
