........ If we push for the enactment of laws restricting the amount of money people can make maybe we would be better off...........If the big oil companies were limited to a million dollar profit instead of making billions, well maybe gas or diesel would only be 99 cents a gallon.....

It's all supply & demand, brother. Be thankful the oil companies have given us such an affordable energy source for so long (and still do). What else has increased that little in price over the last 40 years??????????

Affordable YES, until it gets TAXED to death from our governments..... crazy.gifcrazy.gif

You would be astonished what it cost straight from the refinery.... crazy.gif,, I use to haul the stuff out of Montreal for the measley price of .35 cents per gallon, but once I hit the Border back into the U.S. it got TAXED to death....

And the state of Vermont wants to impose another 4 cents on the gallon.... crazy.gifcrazy.gif

So I ask when doe's it stop ??? I don't make a huge amount of money working retail, and soon it's not going to be cost effective for me to travel to work, as Im sure this is getting to be the case for many.... frown.gif

What then.. ?? When we can't and won't go to work, because over 75% of our pay is going into travel costs.....

There has to be some type of relief somewhere.. instead of the politicians making millions on the backs of the low and middle class worker... frown.gif
