If only we could emote our way though life, not relying on facts or the laws of economics.

Try filling your gas tank with good intentions when the government puts price caps in place to prevent gouging.

AGain, I put two questions to you, since you seem to have taken over in the "emotion over logic" vitriol spewing.

1: Would you rather be able to buy gas at $3.50 a gallon, or have no gas to buy at $2.50 a gallon.

2. Please explain your brilliant anti-gouging proposal, and explain exactly how you would legally define gouging, and what penalties you would set for someone convicted of it.

Also explain how you would set up your system to prevent the shortages, gas lines, and other problems that always occur when you set artificial price caps.

Or should I not hold my breath and expect you to only spew petty, childish insults?

Telling the world how virtuous you are for opposing price gouging is not an economic plan. It is not compassionate. Price caps don't work,and have disastrous, even deadly effects. When your imaginary paradise meets the real world, your way is revealed to be an utter failure. Every time.

You seriously should consider a visit to a shrink.
