Re:OT/ Help stop summer gas price gouging

June 6, 2007

Well, if they are going to do that, why don't they just move into price gouging bill for everything? Why not tell them to decide what a "just price" is for everything that is for sale.

That is not an answer. And, there are a lot of people who couldn't afford the day at the beach when gas was only $.35 per gallon. Why shouldn't that have been illegal?

Why look to government for the answers to social problems? It is government, operating corporately for corporations that is the problem. They cause the problems by their own actions, then the populace thinks that they need the goverment to stop the problem. We need the government to quit being quite the government.

Prices are inflated for a number of reasons. The main one I think is that we live in a debt based economy, i.e. the federal reserve and government in tandem print to much money in sponsoring government in its many projects of empire.

Re:OT/ Help stop summer gas price gouging

Hi,Can you face another summer where a day trip to the lake or the beach costs you an arm and a leg? It's shaping up to be just that if we don't ask Congress to stand up to Big Oil now. The House passed a bill last week that could make gas price gouging a federal crime, but the oil companies succeeded in weakening it at the last minute, so it's hard to enforce. In a couple weeks, the Senate will vote on the same bill, and we need them to make it stronger. I signed a petition to urge my representatives to pass a strong gas price gouging bill. We have over 500,000 names already, but we want to get to 750,000 -- can you join me at the link below?http://pol.moveon.org/stoppricegouging/?r_by=-5212308-vt1pEu & rc=mailtoThanks!
