I work in the oil industry and the amount of outgoings an oil company has before they make a profit is frankly scary,the end product is the barrel of oil,off that there's whatever-60% duty?then all the transport,extraction,refining,exploration,silly wages,wastefulness of money,maintenance of assets,insurances,licences etc etc etc,they must sell a whore of an amount to make the profits they make.
It's definitely the govt that's screwing us over.
