Lets see. An oil men are president and vp and you wonder why prices are going up?

I have watched prices go up her 20¢ a gallon in 2 days. Did they get new expensive gas delivered?

Why in the fuck congress doesn't go after the oil companies with a windfall tax in beyond me. These oil companies could give a shit if the country goes into a depression, just so long as they can make their obscene profits. It's like the 70's all over again.

The conservatives love it because they all have big oil in their back pockets.

Gotta love conservative porn pushers. How is that life of a hypocrite working out for you?

Nofx, a windfall tax is illegal and violates the principles of free markets.

Personally, I think someone ought to go steal a tanker of that expensive gas and drive it through the front doors of OPEC's offices or whatever they use to operate. They make the Mafia and the Mob look like the brady bunch when it comes to racketeering and corruption.

Gas is $2.69 a gallon here still. I hope it stays there for a while.

OPEC is a small part of the problem. It's the huge US oil companies that are fucking us. I love the fact that they got a TAX BREAK when they are having the largest profits of ANY US company EVER.

We have sat back as these mega-mergers have taken place. Now there are basically 4 oil companies controlling the gas prices for our country. When was the last time you saw a small mom and pop gas station?

It's price fixing, plain and simple, and that is what is illegal. Don't you ever wonder why gas prices on the same street all go up, at the same time, when they are supposedly different companies.

The latest reason we are being fed about the prices, is that there is a shortage of ethenol (not sure on the spelling). Now this is made from CORN. We are one of the largest, if not the largest producer of corn in the world. These fucks are actually importing it from other countries.

Good lord, how I long for the days when conservatives were so worried about whether Clinton got a bj or not. Simpler times.

[GlamourGirlContent]

Mom and Pop gas stations still exist all over. But they get thier gas from the same "big four" as part of a francise agreement, so its the same thing.

The last thing I heard as the latest "excuse" was that the president of Iran said that oil was undervalued, so they raised the prices. Now, this is no coincidence that as Bush wets his dirty little tounge and salaviates at the thought of bombing Iran, that he choose to make this statement.

Of course its price fixing. There is no competition. I had a group of lawyers in Chicago looking at the idea of suing all of the oil companies under RICO a couple of years ago, but they decided not to file as they thought it would be one of those never-ending cases that would bleed the firm dry despite the fact that the plaintiffs would be legally correct. The whole case was based upon the very idea that you pointed out: it aint no coincidence that the prices all change at once.

If you know of a firm that would actually be willing to take something like this on, let me know. I think it could be won but it would take years and years and likely all of the plaintiffs would be dead before any money was seen and the lawsuit would be passed on through the family like some sort of heirloom. "Son, Grandpa left you a pocket knife, this fishing reel and the family's share in that lawsuit against the oil companies for fucking him out of half his salary".

The price of oil has gone up because of the nutbag in Iran talking trash !

1) Oil companies and presidents don't control the price of oil the market does !

2) The oil companies made an average of 10% profit the last year and Walmart, Google, Starbucks and hundreds of others made 35%-45% profit so
should they pay a windfall tax?

I think anyone is an idiot for paying $4.50 for coffee but that's what the market allows so they can do it.

Finally, Katrina caused about 70 Billion $$ in damages to oil platforms and pipelines so if you cap gas and oil or profits do you support the Gov't paying for Hurricane damage?

[gooddomains]

about 7 dollars over her per gallon

[$5 submissions]

Good response. Backed up by facts. Not too much logical leaps and usage of hyperbole. Can't wait for the other side's rebuttal.

How is it I am a hypocite? The greens wanted high oil prices for the past 20 years. In fact, AlGore wrote in hid book that he wanted gas prices over $5.00 per gal. Look it up - he wrote it.

If you think republicans are not in this biz - you would be suprised. I could name some big names in this biz that right right thinking. Moreover, do you thing only liberals buy porn. I bet more republicans buy porn than liberals.

You made some big assumptions in you attack.

In fact, traditionaly - republicans supported porn. not liberals. The left always campaigned against porn because it is harmful to women. It is only been in recent years - that there has been a shift. It is is the hard right that has put this on the front burner, due to the internet.

You really need something besides the normal republican talking points.

What makes the president of Iran any more of a nutbag than our president. He saw what happened in Iraq and your president is talking about using nukes to take out their possible nukes ( most experts say are at least 8-10 years away at best) Now that is fucking brilliant.

I'm sure all those tax breaks for big oil, and easing of restrictions are market driven. Just like the energy policy that was written by big oil and energy execs in closed door meetings.

Where do you get your information? From your thick head?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...072802085.html

Try a 32% profit!
Here's another link http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4223573.stm
$25.3 BILLION profit gain. Not gross, but profit.That's on top of their normal $250 billion profit.

In case you haven't noticed, the price of coffee doesn't effect our every day lives. You can not drink coffee and no worries. How is the food that you eat gonna get delivered without fuel. This is by far your most ridiculous talking point.

I think any company that takes in $298 billion in profit can cover the cost of repairing their own tools of the trade. It's called operational costs. If you don't think they had a plan in place for this problem already, you are even more dim than I thought. Let's see, they built all that infrastructure where they have hurricanes every year, and they don't have a back up plan? Please, tell me you don't believe that.

This isn't a liberal or republican issue. It effects us all. These huge corporations don't give a fuck if Joe Shmoe in the midwest has to choose either gas to go to work, or shoes for his kid.

Think about it, energy costs have more than doubled in the last 2 years. Have wages?
