The oil companies make about 3 percent profit off of gas. Your local, state, and federal government make several times that. There are a whole host of businesses that make way more profit than 3 percent. Software companies make over 20 percent profit. Star bucks makes over 10 percent. I could go on and on. Why don't you call your congressman to ask why you are paying so much profit to Microsoft? It's simple economics of supply and demand really. China and India are consuming like never before. China has 5 times the population.
