Why Are Gas Prices So High?
For the most part I think I am a pretty intelligent guy, and for the life of me I can not answer this question.
It is getting crazy. Friday our local gas prices went up about 5 cents. I filled up somewhere near the top of that price range, around $3.49 a gallon. And that price was still there on Saturday.
On the way to work today, just 2 days later, that same gas station had the price at $3.61 a gallon.
Now c’mon people, what is up with that. Really, what is causing the gas prices to go up 15 cents almost [...]

Gasoline Prices
I know I am in trouble now. I got excited about paying $2.43 for a gallon of gas yesterday. That is down from around $2.80 just a couple of weeks ago.
Did someone convince the oil companies that they had enough profits or are they just teasing us?
$2.43 is still ridiculous, but, I am glad to see a little relief. Now if gasoline prices would drop some more I could afford to go to the grocery store.

As Oil Giants Lose Influence, Supply Drops
Business Mon, 08/18/2008 - 22:36 The major Western oil companies are finding it harder than ever to find new prospects even though they are awash in profits and eager to expand.
McCain = Bush - tax breaks for the rich
More proof McCain is Bush 2.0 - caters to rich, snuffs the middle class. McCain has cultivated support from mega-corporations by promising to dole out huge tax breaks in return should he win the presidency. As the Wonk Room reported in June, McCain’s plan to cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 25 percent would yield $45 billion in tax breaks for the 200 largest corporations: McCain would deliver about $4 billion in tax cuts to the five largest oil companies. He would also hand ove
Why Socialism Doesn't Work
"What we're saying is; there's a limit." That's Democratic Senator Dick Durbin - and he's talking about profit. Profit from the oil companies, specifically, but also profit from American businesses in general. Dick believes that there's a limit to how much profit a company should make - and once they cross that line, the government should step in and redistribute it along the lines of Barack Obama's 'windfall tax' scheme. Now, I'm as annoyed about ExxonMobile's outrageous profits as anybody.
REPUBLICANS THICK IN THE HEAD ON U.S. OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING
Traditional Republican voters are being extremely gullible and short-sighted concerning new offshore oil drilling as being of any help at all let alone even the tiny bit alleged by the oil companies. Don't they read? Offshore drilling won't "help" (still polluting) for many years and then, it would... ...

Drill Now! Lose Your Job!
Turns out that there's a flip side to spending weeks upon weeks demanding more largesse for the oil companies - your opponents can use the issue to tie you to Big Oil and beat you: While you were watching that Jew-baiting House candidate go down in flames, another potentially far more significant contest played out last night: A GOP primary challenger ousted GOPer David Davis from his seat in Tennessee's first district, prevailing by less than 500 votes. Davis' loss was a big deal, for two rea
