BP Is Not As Evil As Citgo

The gas station on your way to work with a BP logo is almost certainly not owned by BP. The gas station on your way to work with a Citgo logo is almost certainly not owned by Venezuela. They are both very likely to be owned by a small business person who wears their company colors and buys gas from them. The person running the store is not responsible for the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. The person running the store is not responsible for the tyranny of the people of Venezuela.

BUT

That part of the money the BP store owner pays to BP goes toward a capitalist concern. That money paid by Citgo store owners to Venezuelo goes toward a socialist concern. Would you rather support Capitalism or Socialism?

Then why are Citgo stores seeing an increase in revenue, and BP stores seeing a decrease? Because people refuse to think. If BP lets their chain retailers cut the price of a gallon of gasoline, I sincerely hope you will be a good Capitalist and go to the place you get the lower price.

If, that is, you have not already found that you get better fuel economy from a different station's product. Then you'll have to do the maths.
