- By the way, about 40-50 cents of every gallon of gas goes to the government in the form of taxes (state, federal, local). That''s more than what the oil companies profit from gas sales!
Does that makes the government ''greedy''? - Reply to this comment

- luvwknd - "I thought there were policies against price gouging."
I''m curious to find out what you consider to be price gouging.
For example, Exxon earned a whopping $40 BILLION in profits last year - on sales of $404 BILLION. That''s only a 10% profit margin. Do you consider that to be ''greedy''?
Have you ever sold something on ebay? I bet you made more than a 10% profit on it. Does that make you greedy? - Reply to this comment
- Maybe Jesus will come back and turn water into gas. That would be nice. Let us pray.

- Hillary? Corruption and sleaze follow her around like the dust cloud that follows Pigpen from the Charlie Brown comic strip.
If there ever was a good year for there to be a choice of ''''None of the Above'''' on the presidential ballot, this is it.

- Leftyintexas - if you are a proponent of bigger government, than you should be touting Bush''s accomplishments. After all, annual federal spending has increased at TWICE the rate that it did under Clinton.
Bush has expanded the welfare state more than any President since LBJ. In fact, his Medicare prescription plan for seniors was even a big hit with the GOP!
Bush increased federal control of government education with the ''No Child Left Behind'' Act, which his buddy Ted Kennedy endorsed.
If more federal intervention and regulation will make things better for America, why are you criticizing him so? After all, if you are an Obama or Hillary supporter, aren''t you essentially advocating more of the same? - Reply to this comment
