Most stations sure don't make that on gas now! More should have those signs.

My understanding is that the profit margin on fuel is very slim these days, the actual profit comes from the other stuff.

The car indicates ca 1936-ish at the earliest

Gross margin. Before you get to profit he's got to pay the pump jockey and cover his overheads.

Right, localized overhead is understood here.
Most folks in this end of things are trying to make a living and don't expect to make a killing.

It's the "people" who are supposed to get the tax benefits thru infrastructure support and services, Bell Cali and similar places excepted.

That's the operative word!!

But really only supports government blotting, more regs. & further taxes.

Gvmt isn't the problem, corruption in gvmt and private enterprise is, and the response should be effective incorruptible and accountable oversight. In other words a people problem, make people accountable.

They also don't understand the premiss of the protest. Bundy's situation is a flash point of government abuse of power. That's the reason people are supporting it, not because someone should not pay graizing fees.

What abuse? The guy is a deadbeat. Just what entitles him to be exempt from the same lawful regulations his fellow cattlemen follow?

So we can see how bad the industry gouges us and then the government taxes us, so they can give the money back to the oil industry in the form of corporate welfare?
