The last time the fuel prices hit this insanity, Obama mortgaged the remaining assets of America... what is he going to throw the wolves this time? Every time a hillbilly like me rants about gas prices, some idiot says something to the tune of... "don't you know what they are paying in Europe for fuel... you should be thankful" ...stick a sock in it! There is no way on God's green Earth that it costs more to develop fuel now, than when they it did when they did it with half the technology!
What it amounts to is taxation.
U.S. gas prices are a joke ... in Norway...
http://money.cnn.com/2011/03/10/news/int...Who cares what the price of gas is where they have to ship it in... what about where they get it out of the ground? That is not the reason they are giving us for the gas prices here... it is collusion plain and simple. The same arm of the government that inquires into collusion and price-fixing, is the same leg of the beast that applies taxes to the said fuel. OK, prices go up = more taxes... prices go down = less taxes... do the math. My question still stands, when it all "falls apart" what is going to be done to "fix" it... give the worst perpetrators (banks) another bail-out?
When I visited Guatemala back a few years ago, the prices were soaring then, and the common people were hurting... public transit bus drivers were shot dead, because the prices were literally causing the average person's family to go without food and needed transportation to hospitals. There is NO REASON that the price of gas is what it is. These multinational companies first gobble up countries with military backing, then they rob their home nation...
...and if need be, with the same military backing!
Global Warming nit-wits say that raising fuel prices, and taxation will end global warming?!? If one looks at merely one blast of a single volcano we would see that any man-made pollution is nothing in comparison... but what if we were to do our part and buy electric cars and such... guess what, "they" don't want it... it makes us all too independent. Don't but the crap they are trying to feed us... it is only about money. These guys don't give a damn about the world we live in or the people that inhabit this ball! Until we are all eating their GMO foods; drinking their chlorinated/fluorinated sewage; and working every other day of the calendar to pay for their toxic fuel... "they" won't be happy!
I guess this is why the topics of Religion and Politics get people the most furious...
...because it is the same stuff only thicker. The videos I posted are from 2008 but it is just a matter of time that we will be fed the same old garbage. It is quite clear that we are the mice to be toyed-with.
