Just another reason to raise gas prices
Advertisements [?]
Currently we have the largest reserves of oil, ever.

Yet, have you noticed since the catastrophe in the Gulf (totally preventable), that our gas prices are rising ? In my Indiana area, gas is $2.95 a gallon, 25 cents higher than last week. But, hey we still have oil tankers parked, waiting until the prices rise before they unload it. Hurry up speculators, get those prices higher...Now, I believe, that in addition to the speculators gouging us, we are paying for the BP spill. You know, the one that wasn't their fault but THEY were going to pay for it anyway. No, we are paying for it twice over, and that does not include the irreversible environmental damage that the spill is creating globally, it's in the "Gulf Stream."
When will we say enough? Will we wait until the IMF takes over the US economy? We are the largest debtor nation in the world. The Greek citizens are facing years of suffering while the ruling elite, who caused the mess, are jet-setting. We have been "globalized" so the elite can feed off of and play all of the worlds citizens against each other. All of this, in the name of their God, unregulated capitalism. We need to globalize our resistance and stand as one to put the "jeanie" back in the bottle. Capitalism is killing all but the tiny percentage of the worlds wealthy. Well. I need to go put $10.00 in the tank...:rant:
