Taxes come next at about 16%
Refining takes about 14%.
That leaves 13% for distribution and marketing.

Monopolistic/Oligopolistic behavior is unacceptable to any free market economy. So yes, I would support that law and the evidence required. DUH!

There are already cases regarding that and with the proper evidence, a breakup will occur.

If the evidence and facts support the claim, yes. DUH!

So, you cannot defend your lunatic assertions with any links or facts. I am hardly surprised by that.

Instead, you prefer to pound your tiny insignificant fists on the table and demand that I answer the absurdity of your question for you. Life doesn't work that way basement dweller.

I don't believe you.

I think you're lying right now.

isnt' breaking up a monopoly punishing the hard work of those involved?

and isn't breaking up a monopoly futile because they just form smaller corporations they still control, like Rockefeller?

this is what neocons usually say.

IT is only a small piece of the puzzle, we need to rely on solar, wind, reduction of use...

Oil is okay also, but we need to untangle it and stop the huge giveaways to the industry.

Your first mistake is calling your eruptions "thinking". Nothing you are doing could be mistaken for "thought"

There is no such thing as a "neocon" except in the tiny little minds of unintelligent ghouls who inhabit the internet.

I am going to throw in another thing that is in the experimental stage, they do have some really small ones ( AA/ AAA ) already but need to improve their efficiency , get the cost down and that is the Diamond Nuclear battery.
if they can improve them and get them to do what they think they can the DNB will change the world.
a battery that will never need charging , will last over 2000 years and as I said IF they can get them perfected run a electric car for millions of miles.
get them perfected and the price down the DNB will change the world.
and it will help get rid of the Nuclear waste we have accumulated besides.
Time will only tell.
Have a nice day
