THE OBSCENE PRICE OF GASOLINE
The obscene price of gasoline is the highest we have ever seen. Even the slightest jump at the pump dumps millions more green into the hands of the oil barons who will carry on this gauging game as long as the demand for fuel is strong.
Shortage is not the reason why the price is high and will grow higher. It's the knowing that the buyer will buy because he needs his car, his tractor or his truck on the go to earn the dough to feed and house the family. So he or she is squeezed in a vice and must pay the price. The scapegoat of note is always war and that's the biggest lie by far.
Let's clear up this confusion. It's the collusion between the Arabs who have the crude and the oil foilers who create the mood and spread the myth that they can't deal with the Egypt gyppers who set the rules that fuel the scams that justify the price that we, the fools, are forced to pay for the gallons we must buy.
Under normal circumstances, price controls are not the answer. But when a nation's faced with the cancer of an industry gone amok, we must get the flaws out of the laws and find a system that works. And when the powers that be shirk their responsibility the time to change is overdue.
The oil industry can get away with this chicanery as long as the Gouging Oil Partners (also known as the GOP) are calling the shots. They know and fear if this becomes the Democrats' year and it foretells the Republican fate in zero eight, they'd better make it while they can, before the fit hits the shan.
