Kiss the rod, peon Americans. You deserve to be as miserable as the rest of the world.
I don’t give a flying f what the rest of the world pays.
Europe has a condensed population.
the rest of the world doesn’t have its own oil, we do
you ain’t seen nothing yet!
I suspect the Saudi announcement about trouble there would bring about $200 to $300/bl was made for a reason. Russia would really make a killing!
If I want to live
In a high-tax Euro-state,
I will move to one.
He mentions that higher taxes and duties play a role in the costs, but never mentions how much those countries buy, compared to the US.
Who gives a rip what the rest of the world pays? That’s a feeble argument in overcharging Americans for gasoline. What we care is what we pay and we’re paying way too much. Time to get the speculators out of the oil business, and time to drill here, drill now.
And the best part is,
The cattle-car ride is FREE!
Only one-way, though...
O’boy, o’boy.... I wanna be like everybody else.
What the “other countries” pay for gasoline should have absolutely NOTHING to do with what we in the USA pay for gasoline. Arghhhh.
Isn’t the whole point about loving being an American about not *wanting* to be like the rest of the world???
Exactly. There is no reason, except for BO and his troglodyte enablers in Congress, to make ourselves as miserable as, say, the Netherlands, which has no oil of its own. A more honest comparison would be the cost of gasoline in oil-producing countries. The UK continues to screw itself despite the riches of the North Sea. I continue to be surprised that the British public puts up with it.
Who gives a damn what the rest of the world pays? They’ve been using that nonsense argument to push all kinds of nonsense (health care, global warming, etc).
The United States of America is the BEST COUNTRY in the history of the World.
We should NEVER be compared to any other country. Who cares what they pay, we need not pay as much as the others.
What a condescending twit! He bashes Palin for daring to suggest that $4/gallon is too high. I think $1.50/gallon is too high!
How about this clown pays for his $4/gallon gas and then send me $4 for every gallon he buys so he can pay $8/gallon right now. Why wait on the rest of America?
When G. W. was in office, all you heard from the Media and the RATs was Bush/Oil Prices - strangely, the media and the RATs are now silent about the skyrocketing price of oil and gasoline since Hussein Obama is in the Oval Office.
