Don’t care if people down vote me… that isn’t capitalism.  That’s greed. It’s crony capitalism at best. And that’s being kind.   Their taking advantage of inflation at the cost of everyone!  It’s not sustainable.  These greedy corporations and elites empower all the socialism rhetoric,AND I can see why.   I’m not for socialism.  I’m not.  But this BS provided all the ammo that the socialists need to prove their point.  
This has got to end.  Profits aren’t evil.  But raping the economy and its people is.

It is capitalization. The oil companies are banking on the consumers not fighting back. And they are right. All the govt has done is use strong words. So such profit gouging will continue, not just in oil but in all industries within a capitalist country.
