Stupid question on gas prices

[xlogic]

@beat90tsi

Good point with the %, but even if they do make too much, we should not outlaw high profits.

What we need is to drill in Alaska, but that’s beside the point. What cost do NFL players have to make their salary? We should limit that profit.
-If you live closer to work and drive less, you should get paid less than people who live further away and use more gas.
-If you have more than 1 car you should pay a luxury tax, because, seriously, who needs more than 1 car per person?
-If you buy an Italian suit, you should pay luxury tax.
-If you sell your house for a profit, the price you sell should be fixed by the government so instead of profiting $11k you can only profit say…half that.

Where would the absurdity stop? I understand that gas is a commodity, but the problem isn’t the profits of the gas companies. If you want to crunch their balls it could drive us into a shortage.

Just because we were all born into the wrong family businesses doesn’t mean we should pass legislation to restrict those that were from earning profits.

I honestly hope you were not serious in that post
