Free Market Economics at work again in America.....
Anyone notice that the price of Oil(Read: Operation Iraqi Liberation) is up again to its highest point this year. With all the trouble in the world it is no wonder. We have the Iranians now THE biggest threat on the planet according to the disasterpresident. OOOOOO those evil Triagle of Evil folks. We have to keep 3 (count 'em), 3 carrier flotillas in the Persian Gulf just to contain the menace of Irans 40 odd patrol craft.
We have to stop Iran from any nuclear power.
What we end up doing is making Oil cost more to everyone in the world. So we are making a scarce commodity, even more scarce. This accomplishes What? you ask.
I guess we squezze Iran. Israel thanks us for this because Iran is next on the Israeli Genocide Schedule.
We also have a reason to maintain our military might in the Persian Gulf, center of the worlds energy production.
And the Oil Companies, we make the fat and Happy. We create scarcity and they charge more, right? Opps. Big Oil has lowered refined fuel prices in the US. The price of oil went up 25% and the price of gasoline is down 10%. How does that work? We are Capitalist aren't we? When something gets scarce you charge more right? Not when you're so wealthy that you can manipulate whole populations and economies and make record profits each quarter for the last several years. You time your price increases and decreases to keep the population lulled and content, and please dont question. You manipulate elections and moderate bad ratings for your darling the disasterpresident all by saying "the refinery capacity is down". The price of oil is up now and the price of gas dropped precipitously, and no refineries went on line.
We do not have a free market. We are not Capitalists. We allow corporations to run the economy and the Government with the profits that are subsidized by the American people.
Everyone who is not baaaaing at Fox News need to write their Congressman and have them implement a tax on Big Oil and every other subsidized industry(halibuton, and every defense contractor come to mind) and give that money back to the people to pay off the exorbitant mortgages that were allowed by this disasteradministration in order to take the last bastion of wealth away from the middle class in America. Corportations think we will be much more governable if we NEED that extra job a Walmart to pay the mortgage.
