Quote From: jerirobIt’s not that we pay too much per gallon for gas – Europeans pay much more and have for years – it’s that the gas and oil barons get to rip us off with such impunity. The $400 million retirement package that the Exxon mogul recently received, which was in addition to his already enormous salary and benefits, made me sick to my stomach. And this is the same guy who was sending memos out years ago about how to deflect criticism related to global warming. The incredible greed, cynicism and self-interest of these bloodsuckers appears to be boundless. They are all bad, but Exxon Mobil seems to be worse. That’s why I say BOYCOTT EXXON MOBIL.
I think it's both that we pay too much per gallon for gas and that companies rip us off because they can. They know that gas will always be demanded. I hate the whole supply/demand circumstances because there is such a high demand for gas which does allow the suppliers to raise the price in order to make a larger profit.
There is no reason why the gas prices should be this high. I feel sorry for the Europeans and other areas that have paid high gas prices for years. Gas/oil should not be that expensive. There is plenty of it around the world. People are just being too greedy. I agree with you when you stated "The incredible greed, cynicism and self-interest of these bloodsuckers appears to be boundless".
