The oil companies charge what they want and we are getting beat up because we HAVE to pay for gas to fuel our vehicles. If everyone jacks up the price, there is no cheaper alternative and we all pay the new price. There was no shortage last year only increased pricing and insane profits. They preyed on all of us when the opportunity was ripe.
I don't want communist-like control but I would like pressure for them to curb the increases. The current administration has deeply rooted ties to oil companies so they'll likely get away with murder.
Oh, and thanks for the american idol rant...or something?
