The price actually went up .16 in less than two minutes.

It doesn't matter... It was still gauging if it went up faster than I think it should have... After all, the wholesale market is just a bunch of greedy robber barons splitting dividing the spoils from the working-class... The station owner should have just sold the gas for less than it was worth--I mean, a whole 16 cents a gallon... that means it will cost me almost $2.50 more to fill up my car! Talk about theft! Call the government!!

It's a hopeless case. Some people are just willfully ignorant. The esteemed poster you were responding to probably doesn't even know what the wholesale market is, and doesn't care to learn--it would just burst his little sense of self-importance (e.g., heroic little guy fights back big evil corporation).

Sadly you've hit the nail on the head.

That's exactly how the people are viewing it as they've been trained over decades to think as liberals do. You're a victim. Between liberal infiltration into our schools and the media this victimist attitude will be very hard to overcome.

It's easy to be a victim, and liberals exploit this at every turn.
