Anyone here post a higher income this year AFTER taxation, than before?

So many energy companies, why do they whine about being stepped all over by the Fed and blame the Fed for $4-5/gal gas prices when the Fed gives them free money instead of levying taxes? Then again, we pay about 1/3 at the pump as almost every other 1st-world country, despite the claim that petrolueum prices are supposedly fixed by OPEC.

It's a brain-buster to me. Anyone wanna take a crack at this?
