The oil industry must think the American pubic is down right stupid...
all of a sudden oil on the futures market is at $90.00 or less,down from a peak $100.00+...Why because the oil companies announced that oil and gas inventories were much higher than first estimated and the market reacted with lower priced oil.......So since we were paying well above $3.00 for gas do we get a rebate for their mistake?.....
This is proof once again that we are being gouged by the oil industry and that high price gas is a result of artificially inflated prices caused by speculators of petroleum products.....One could bet that with the drop in oil Pr per barrel going down there were those that made money by buying short.....What a circus
.......What ever happen to the Democratic Majority insisting they would pass a windfall profits tax on the oil industry within 90 days of their control? Why aren't any of the candidates talking about this? (with the exception of J. Edwards)

Stupid sheep, lined up for fleecing...and most politicians are owned by big businesses like oil...so this type of manipulation, is not that shocking...

2. That's because we sit back and let criminal politicians lie
us into thinking everything is OK. When people are so cowardly as to do nothing they will be dominated. :dem:
