Exxon profits, people pay more
Has anyone noticed that as Exxon's profits increase, the American People pay more at the pump?

Whatever happened to trickle down? A rising tide lifts all boats, right? Right?

1. It would seem that they could cut out there profits from

I did see that Valero is hurting pretty badly though because they don't do any exploration.
