ORIGINAL: Termyn8or quote:
now why wans't gasoline dirt cheap ? Because these MFs said "Well we can still get those prices on the open market, so fuck you". T^T The US was no.1 has fallen to the world's no 3 exporter of gasoline. That's how you can keep domestic prices up...reduce supply. Prices recently still fell because of a lack of demand but have since come back up as oil has come back up. Now of course, the US imports over 30% of its crude oil at about 9 million bbls.+/day while exporting what will soon be 1 million bbls./day. So the US petroleum industry is free to manipulate supply and prices...all they want. And oh yes, I do envy the rich and very much so. I envy how it is the rich that get a face to face, private discussion of issues with MY representative in govt.. I envy how they can buy and sell things such as real estate, stocks and bonds etc. hold them for 1 year in long term [sic] income called 'capital gains' whatever they are...and pay about 1/2 the tax rate I do if I pay the highest 1040 income tax rate...NOT called capital gains...whatever that is. I envy the rich for the equally rich associations they form and with that 'richness' invest on K St. in NW Wash and get often $30 in govt. favors for every $1 I invest. Oh yes, I envy the rich because they have lots of money and enough to buy all of the above, use that wealth and the extra 20% of 'gains' that isn't taxed to reinvest which makes them exponentially richer yet which they can again multiply even further. Oh yes, I envy the rich and for many very obvious reason to envy them. Shall I go on ? Do you need more ?
