Oh. Give me another break. Food prices are rising fast and people need food, too so why pick out gas to complain about. Who do you think is fixing prices? There is no one person, government or other entity. It is called the free market and speculators are taking advantage of supply and demand.
Besides people don't have to buy gas. They can drive less, buy smaller cars, car pool, take the train. There are lots of alternatives. Go to any highway at commuter time and you will see 99% of the cars with one driver and inching along taking hours to get to and from work. To me that is insanity. Who are you to decide whether an item is a luxury or necessity? Each person makes his own choice with his wallet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "MB Software Solutions, LLC" <mbsoftwaresoluti...@mbsoftwaresolutions.com> To: "ProFox Email List" <profox@leafe.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 3:51 PM Subject: Re: [OT] Obama's America > On 4/26/2011 2:39 PM, Michael Madigan wrote: >> And who wouldn't want to be a fat cat? > > > Making a profit is not a crime, but to charge obscene prices especially > in a time where we're in such hard economic times AND YOU DAMN WELL KNOW > PEOPLE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BUY THE GAS, I think it's wrong to extort > such profits that are at RECORD LEVELS.
