Well, I suppose you're right because if oil companies earn about 1% more profit than the average company some politician will surely come along and confiscate those 'excess profits'. Oh wait, that already happened.
So to your point, I'm not at which stop along the way to market excess profits will be taken, but I'm sure the government will find a way to tax those profits so that the American public continues to get screwed.
