Re: gas prices increase today... wow...
Well Maxwell, I see we need a refresher course in free enterprise 101. Profit is good. Without profit, there would be no investment, no business, no employment, and no tax revenue. Do you own stock and expect profit? The last time I checked, big oil was only making 9% profit. If my business only made 9% profit, it would be shut down and the capital would be invested in more profitable opportunities.
Maybe we should look at the vocal minority green extremists and spaghetti spined politicians who have not allowed a refinery to be built in over 25 years, or drill in a 12 square mile area of Alaska, or level heavy taxes on each gallon we purchase, to name a few. Environmental extremism is simply the old socialism.
I think I will go out and put some of that great premium fuel in my Crossfire. I will not even look at how much it costs, because I do not care, it just goes on my Visa. Then I will go out, in that direction, and see what is out there and have fun driving just for fun’s sake. Is this a great country or what?
