I live in Norway right now, and I'm paying $8.00 per gallon pr. today's prices. Huge increase over normal you ask. Nope, just 10% higher than last week. Who's raking it in you ask? The government. Taxes make up 80% of the market price of gasoline in this country. Have people stopped driving yet? NOPE! I fill 50,000 liters a month in my trucking business, and the world still turns. All this, and take into consideration that Norway is one of the top 5 oil producing countries in the world. With the 2nd. largest oil money fund on the market next to Kuwait. Any relief? HELL NO! They stick it to the people everyday. Can we expect any less? It'll only get worse right up until the revolution. And yes, I'm dead serious. The bastards.
> I hate to be negative...once oil prices do indeed retreat as they must, we won't see any relief at the pumps.
And, for us in the northeast, at the heating oil tanker.
> Now the bastards know that we'll pay pretty much anything, and the world still keeps turning. Soon the governments taxes on gas will increase 10 fold to make up the difference.
That's when W has to step up to the plate. Because if he doesn't, the Dems are going to be in a perfect position to make it The Issue.
