Free enterprise at work. A company making a profit providing goods and services that customers want. But I expect the RINOS to weigh in shortly.
Exactly. Without evidence of collusion with other gas companies this should a non-story, but it makes excellent fodder for demagogues.
Free enterprise IS at work here but it may come to a point where the population says enough is enough. Perhaps a nation wide trucking strike? The price of everything is going up except wages. At what price will people just get fed up?
OK, I'll buy that. However, my demand hasn't gone up a wit in 10 years, and I would say the same goes for my neighbors. Is it China driving up the demand?
This has nothing to do with free enterprise. The Oil companies are making a huge profit providing goods and services that customers are forced to buy. The Oil Companies have a monoply because back in the 1980's they bought enough corrupt politicians to effectively kill all research in alternative fuel sources. Otherwise today we would have alternatives to being raped at the pump everytime we have to go to work.
