MORE ON THE RAPE OF AMERICA BY OUR OWN CORPORATIONS
This latest round of price hikes on gas and diesel fuel is outright robbery. Just a few days after the trouble started in Egypt, pump prices here started rising. And as you no doubt know, have continued to jump almost daily. Here's the truth: The oil bought on the market today won't be to our pumps until the middle of April. The gas you're buying at outrageous prices now was bought at the much lower prices of 1 1/2 to 2 months ago. Is it any wonder Exxon is making $30 billion a quarter? How long are we going to put up with this? Until we can't afford to drive to our $8.00 an hour jobs that are about all that's available today? Until we are all as dirt poor as those starving people in African countries?
You know why the government won't do anything about this price gouging. Because the oil companies own way too many congressmen and senators. See previous post about public financing of elections to solve this problem.
Meanwhile, my advice is buy stock in energy companies.
Hang in there, 2012 elections are coming,
Dumb Farmer
