The only reason oil is $50 a barrel is the futures market being manipulated by the left-wing super rich in their desire to hurt the American people.

I hope you really don't believe what you typed because it's not true.

They did it to silver (just two people)in early 1980 so why could they not do it to oil? The daily trade in futures in oil is somewhere between 50,000 to 100,000 contracts and each contract controls 1,000 barrels. Why could a group of speculators not drive the price.
