Edpap Champion Author Pennsylvania Posts:1,558 Points:151,050 Joined:Oct 2011	Message Posted: Feb 4, 2012 8:55:01 AM Ignore Edpap Report Abuse Anyone think we would be in the middle east if they did not have oil? Should the oil companies be funding the USA middle east war efforts? Should all the USA troops be "volunteers"(mercenaries) paid by the oil companies?
cmptrmush Champion Author Detroit Posts:1,764 Points:377,845 Joined:Feb 2011	Message Posted: Feb 4, 2012 8:39:14 AM Ignore cmptrmush Report Abuse As much as I hate giving the big oil companies the money I feel I work hard for, I also believe in a capitalism concept. The public has a way to control the cost of gasoline when they buy or don't buy gasoline. The catch is our society is too heavily based on the need for gas and oil. There just aren't enough alternatives available to make the gas and oil companies really work for their profits. When more alternatives become available and affordable, gas and oil will not continue to make their huge profits.

vernon824 Rookie Author Texas Posts:5 Points:85,400 Joined:Nov 2010	Message Posted: Feb 4, 2012 7:36:06 AM Ignore vernon824 Report Abuse No it should not be as high as it is now. We are to dependant on foreign oil. Every time they squabble our prices soar. We need to drill our own oil and leave them alone. Plus we need go charge those foreign countries more for the products we ship them plus charge them for all the military support we supply.

bigmoo63 All-Star Author Kalamazoo Posts:883 Points:56,540 Joined:Nov 2009	Message Posted: Feb 4, 2012 6:40:24 AM Ignore bigmoo63 Report Abuse Using Europe is a poor comparison. American broke away from a European nation to declare independence. Now go back and use the model again? You want to be like Europe, go live in Europe. Obama wanted 5 dollar gas for his pet projects. Which of course, for the most part have failed, just like his entire term. Need to quit enabling the cash addicts, and cut off the supply. Not increase it.

Just ask the Europeans. Their gas prices have being sky high for ages now and they are still driving as if there's no tomorrow.
NGC4565 Champion Author Reading Posts:1,934 Points:388,165 Joined:Mar 2011	Message Posted: Feb 4, 2012 5:57:25 AM Ignore NGC4565 Report Abuse As the article says, the market sets the price of gasoline. The real question they are asking is "how high should gasoline taxes be?" My reply to that would be "What do you intend to use those higher taxes for?"

Obama said he wanted 5 dollar gas. Whats a couple more bucks, right. How about a country killer. No one would work, and no one could afford anything. Except for him and his entourage in DC. This is nuts.

Because if you vote the community organizer back into office, that is what you will get. We do not care what fuel costs in other countries in Europe. Our ancestors left Europe for a reason and did not look back. We are not Europe and we do not want to be Europe. If you like Europe so much, then surrender your citizenship to this great Republic and move to a socialist or communist haven of your choice.
