IMHO, 'greed' is a code word for 'never read and understood a corporate annual report.' Before you ask, I have not worked a day in the oil industry, but my one-time hobby was stock picking - to the point I felt like I was a one-man mutual fund. About 90% of the money is made in the production of crude oil, and that is a world commodity. Remember, a Government powerful enough to lower the profits of the oil companies to a number you like is also powerful enough to set your wages to a level you don't like. Those us who are old enough can remember Nixon's wage and price controls. The wage controls worked much better.

Gas prices are NOT low. We as a nation have been conditioned to think this is low because of what we experienced this summer. We Gas Buddy folks need to remind our friends and neighbors that $3 shouldn't be a "gas price crash" it is only the beginning of getting back to where gas should be.

redtruckaz Veteran Author Phoenix Posts:390 Points:131,725 Joined:May 2012	Message Posted: Dec 17, 2012 2:09:08 PM Ignore redtruckaz Report Abuse What would be the price if Obama would drill in the USA and stop paying other countries to drill for oil in their own back yard? What would be the price of gas here if Obama would allow the Canadian pipe line to be built. The folks that voted for him are fools if they think for one minute he will help the little guy. He will only help you if give him lots of money for his pocket. He when in office four years ago not as a millionary, but just look at him now. How does a guy that NEVER had a job become a millionary? It's mind over matter: He does not mind and we don't matter.
