Crawl back to your socialist Che Guevara BB.

Oh please, don't be a whiner! We pay about 1/4 what the rest of the world pays for gas (unless you live in Saudi Arabia). Nobody "stole" anything.....GET OVER IT!

I thought that flash file was well made.

Liberal or conservative, everyone should admit that election was sketchy at best. I like how the only people who complain are liberals and the only people who defend it are conservatives. I mean, I know outcomes are important, but isn't democracy... or rather a democratic republic, about the process? Not the outcomes...

Oh well, go figure.

Also, don't complain about gas prices, because the USA has a mass delusion that lower gas prices = strong economy, so the government has been subsidizing our gas prices since before I was born. Even at the $2 a gallon we are paying now, we are still paying roughly half what they pay in Europe.

Subsidizing how? If you took the price of a barrel of crude, added refining and other costs, a gallon would still cost well under .50 cents. The rest is free market profit and tax.

Tax makes up about half the price of gas in the U.S. and even more in Europe. That's why it's so expensive in Europe.

That's absolutely correct. The biggest cost involved is local, state and federal taxes, and in Europe the tax levels on petroliun from goverments is REALLY huge

Yeah. And where do idiots that write stuff like

"Too bad more Canadians did not get bombed in Afghanistan."

or

"One could learn a lot from Chinese torturing people to death."

come from? (just two of your comments).

Don't leave out the "10,000 French dead is a good start" one next time.

Sad day when you have to help the people trying to bash you.

Even Bill O'Reily is voicing his opinion against the price fixing the oil companies partake in. You know it's bad when one of the most arrogant and hard-headed conservatives speaks for the average joe.

**playa** · 08-29-2003, 12:09 PM

geez its fucking over,, lets get over it and stop beating on a dead horse.

I hate ppl talking about it as much as ppl still talking about what clinton did or done

You obviously haven't figured it out. Conservatives WANT the average Joe to succeed so he can take care of himself. Liberals want the average Joe to rely on the goverment to take care of him so that he doesn't have to take care of himself.

So why are conservatives the ones promoting foreign sweatshop labor, wal-marts, and many of the other factors causing the huge difference in the economic status of our countries people?

And us socialists don't want the people to rely on the government, we want the government to rely on the people, while still supporting them. The governments job should be more to keep the rich from continuing to siphon wealth from the poor, not to allow them to do so.

You are complaining when you pay less than 2 bucks for a gallon of petrol?

Don't go to the UK then! Between 5-6 bucks a gallon!!!
