Today someone trotted out the tired argument about those "evil oil companies and their obscene profits".
Somehow, Starbucks (18.5%) and Google (69%!!!) get a free pass, yet the gas companies are supposed to give away their product because Joe Average doesn't want to pay market prices.
Milk costs a lot. When was the last time you saw a dairy farmer standing out front of the grocery store, giving out free half-gallons because he charges too much for milk?
Obscene prices? Have you seen what "organic" food sells for? Those freakin' hippies are robbing us blind.
