Think Progress Celebrates $4.00 Per Gallon Gas

Now that gas prices are rising at record rates, the liberal hotbed at Think Progress is going wild with anti-free market rants against oil companies and others who simply aren’t to blame.

Think Progress Watch

Average national gas prices have hit another record high on May 16, climbing to $3.7929 a gallon for regular gasoline. At the same time, average gas prices rose above $4 a gallon in Chicago and New York’s Long Island for the first time. Trilby Lundberg, the editor of the nationwide Lundberg survey of about 7,000 gas stations, says that gas prices “could rise to $4 a gallon on a national average basis.”

Do you notice how Think Progress does nothing other that state “gas prices are high and it will suck for you”? I mean, shouldn’t they mention the reason gas prices are high? Shouldn’t they maybe dive in to some numbers with regards to, say, taxes?

When you consider the fact that gas station owners only end up with about 15 cents per gallon of gas sold and that Exxon was only making 28 cents on a $3.00 gallon of gas?

Or how about the fact that ExxonMobil paid 83 percent of the $8.4 billion it earned in a quarter, $7 billion, $2 billion more than a year earlier, in just federal income tax — and a lot more in other taxes?

Either Think Progress is just celebrating high gas prices for kicks, or they’re doing a heck of a job pushing their “progressive agenda”.
