Someone needs to stop high gas prices

Sunday, June 15, 2008 12:02 AM EDT

Now, come on, you can't tell me that there is nothing anyone can do to stop these jerks that are recording record profits, but keep shoving the high price of gas right up our tanks.
Somebody needs to step in right now.

" Record profits, yes, but record taxes already as well. Oil companies are lucky if they turn a 10% profit, Google made a 25% profit last quarter, are their profits too high? Should they be taxed extra too? "

" Stop China from using more and more oil every year. Then gas prices will go down. Its foolish to think goverment can do anything to bring down prices. Better yet, lets drill off shore and in Alaska. China is drilling off shore of Cuba "

" Wait until this winter. It's going to be ugly, trying to heat your home, and keep gas in your car to get to work. Yet the government turns a blind eye to the taxpayer, because they are in the pocket of corporate america. And they want to keep raising out school taxes. Where is this going to end?? Pretty soon, there will be only 2 classes in this country, eliminating the middle class, and it seems that is the way the government wants it. "

" I think we just saw a bill to tax excessive oil profits fail in Congress recently, did we not? So, to whom is our Government answerable? Not the people, but to the corporations who are bleeding the working public to line their already bloated pockets.

Don't expect any relief soon. "
