I have no problem with companies making money. Similarly I think people are unreasonable to expect the price of oil to stay fixed at pre-2000 levels when the price of everything else has risen according to inflation.


But I also have no problem on making tax breaks contingent on the fulfillment of certain goals of public interest, and moreover having these breaks written down in the form of a legally binding contract. (i.e., you'll have to lower gas prices to keep receiving tax breaks, and if you take the tax breaks without lowering gas prices, we'll take you to court for breach of contract).


Same goal and same end, without the ham-handed government micro-management.
