Someone noted that grocery stores profit margin is 2%, because people have to eat, and questioned why doesn't big oil look at it that way. Grocery stores are distributors, not manufacturers. Your local gas station is the distributor and is making only about 2% profit. Big oil is the manufacturer, just like Pepsi or Frito-Lay, and they make much more than 2% just like big oil does. Do you want to take their profit too? Let’s just take everyone’s profits? Remember we are governed by the free enterprise system. Profits are good! Live it, love it, or leave it.
