Re: The Free Market, price of gas, class warfare or socialism?
Why couldn't gas be federally regulated? I'd love for someone to explain to me how Exxon is only passing the rising crude prices along to the customers when they are setting new records for profitability every year. Something doesn't smell right.

That's just it. These oil companies are bringing in billions of dollars of profit a year. they have more than enough profit to invest back into the company to create new fuel that Americans rely on. There is no reason to raise the prices on oil.
