Upside/Down, this is not about profit being wrong. What it's about is oil companies lying and saying the prices are up because of other reasons beyond their control. They are lying to you and to everyone else. Katrina hasn't caused this, neither has China wanting to buy oil.
Either you make tons of money and it's not going to hurt you to pay $3 to over $4 something per gallon, or you're extremely gullable. Our energy secretary, and he's sleazy, I saw him on TV again today trying to weakly, in a very annoyed tone, try to convince us the oil companies are not profiting from this huge rise in gas prices. Of course they are. This unnecessary, the rise in gas prices and natural gas. I don't know about you, but I could NOT afford to pay my heating bills this winter. I had to go on a budget plan. I owe them nearly $400 that will be due when the winter program is over. I can barely afford to run my car.
Please everyone, this is NOT about partisan politics. This is about our economy and how it is about to be crippled by the greed of the major oil companies.
Please hit the link, read and then find the petition link and go sign it. It's very simple to sign it, not a lengthy process. Then let everyone you know in on it. The outrage is growing over this. Our prez and his energy secretary thought we'd all believe their story and quietly go along with it. Let's show them that they are wrong, wrong, wrong!
