Gas price rant, (what are you paying)???

needsaresto said
Why are gas prices so high? Because 1% of the poulation has 99% of the money. We are all trapped by the current system.

Change is coming whether the rich want it or not. Have faith and be patient because what happened when the citizens of america chose to rebel agaisnt thier oppressors might happen once more.We still have our guns,and rich folks fear that.

Now who could argue with that?

I know this is a rant thread so I will rant.

California gets $0.39 for every gallon of gas sold. The tree-hugging homosexual-loving Democrats in this state have prevented new refineries from being built and have made pollution control requirements so stringent that the older refineries had to be shut down and dismantled.

The Federal Government gets $0.18 for every gallon and they don't do anything to help the supply. They are so stupid that they send our troops to take over some oil-rich country like Iraq and then they don't even ship extra oil back to the good ol' USofA to help pay for the cost of the troops!! MORONS!!

Why is gas ten times the price of what I paid for it in 1972?
Just because I earn ten times what I earned in 1972 why should the evil State and Federal governments and the oil companies be entitled to raise the price of gas by the same factor?
