It's hard to argue against environmental communism, and then have any complaint with the price of gas. If you favor the governemt taking action, then that itself is something you'd expect from a socialist or communist regime, not a capitalist regime.

If the price of gas is too high, then stop buying so much. If it's too inconvenient to buy less, then the price isn't too high for you. That's the way capitalism works.........at any price, for any product, there is a price that's too high for some. If you're paying it, then the price isn't "too high".

And if you want to take a system that seems out of whack now and screw it up even further, then get the government involved......windfall profits taxes, rationing, ALL the kind of tinkering government can do will not solve the problem.

The only people that don't want lower gas prices are those that sell it, and those in competing industries. Anybody telling a different tale is full of sh!t. And the gov't can't tax, ration, drill, subsidize, or do anything to significantly change it. The only thing that will significantly change the price of gas is people finding ways not to use it........and only rising price will lead people to find ways.

Drill ANWAR, drill right off the coast......it won't change your price for a gallon of gas by any significant amount. All the extracted oil will go along with all the Saudi oil, the Venezuelan oil, the Mexican oil and the Canadian oil.......straight to whoever will pay the most per barrel for it. And the weak US dollar isn't helping any.

We'd probably better get used ot it, because all the sniveling in the world isn't going to change the price of oil.
