Are you studying creative writing in school? Me too. Do you mind if I tell you that you re trying just a bit too hard, to be believable?

On oil I do support government control over the prices, just like they have done in the past. Once an oil rig is established, it costs them somewhere between $3-$8 per barrel to produce the oil. Unfortunately for us, the demand for oil is so high that we would easily pay $300 a barrel if we had to. Supply and demand is all fine and good, but oil is an exception.
Many oil companies are consistently among the highest profits annually. They are profiting because they have effectively created a monopoly on the energy business by undercutting the price of any alternative energy system that's being produced, and then raising the price when their supremecy isn't challenged.
I believe that everyone should be able to make a profit, but price gaugeing and monopolies are wrong. It is wrong to make billions of dollars annually because the only other choice people have to power their car is to outfit it with a steam engine and use coal.
I just wanted to repost that because nobody has told me why the economy can be in recession, Oil prices can be higher than they're ever been, and Oil companies can be making record breaking profits (as was the case from 2004-2008). If that's the way that oil companies are going to run their business don't we have a right to be furious?

The tax on gas per gallon is 33.8 cents in illinois, which isn't as high as California, New York, Florida, or Connecticut. Let me give you some tactical advice. If you say that the tax on gas in illinois is 101.4 cents it sounds scary. And you don't have to mention that's the tax on 3 gallons of gas when people assume you're only talking about one gallon.
here's the website if anyone wants to check which of us is telling the truth. http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/245.html

Government price controls on ANYTHING is a sure fire way to start rationing it.
Bad idea.

It's called supply & demand 1 ounce.
If we started using our own resources prices go down globally.
