In a free market it is competition between producers that controls the price of a product and encourages research and development.
When everyone agrees to charge the same price regardless of their overhead then where are you going to go?
One thing you do not have for sure is a free market when you have price controls whether it is government or business that is controlling them.
Big business is the new world order.They are making the laws to suit their bottom line.
They control the politicians on the planet as well as the media and they could care less about truth borders,constitutions, independence,God or country.
They care only about a dollar and will do anything to get it even destroy their own country and sell their own souls.
In the end driven by uncontrolled greed they end with people just like themselves in power,people who think just like they do.
Then by the time they realize they have created a monster, who like them only cares for money and power, it is too late.
Hitlers don't happen by accident.If you check you'll find that some of his early supporters where wealthy Jews.
So go ahead and enjoy those dollars you think you are making on them oil stocks, while inflation and the cost of living driven by high oil prices from their price-gouging, are eating them up on the other end.
When you have pay five dollars for a loaf of bread and two Dallas for a can of beans seven dollars for a pound of coffee, then there are the utilities which are fixing to double and the stock market is getting shaky as hell because high oil prices have eaten up all the loose money in the country.
Things are going to pop soon and that little dab of money the President is trying to pump inti the economy is not going to stop it.
It all started on his watch and he let his friends get away with it and did nothing to stop it and its too late now.
So listen to the propaganda put out by the business world in their media,and trust their hired help [regardless of which party]while your freedoms, future and your country instead of setting the standard for prosperity and freedom for the world slips back into gross mediocrity.
Then after they tear down this last obstacle in the way of their global community with it's troublesome Constitutional government,with their planned economic crisis then you can set around and feel sorry for all these ultra rich companies that have fed off the working man from both ends, and hope after they restructure us, that someone in the world will look our way and not ignore us when we [the US] hold up our hand to go to the bathroom.
Why am I wasting my time?The people of this country have slammed the door in God's face and told Him we'll call you if we need You.
Its going to take something like what some of us has been saying is coming to hopefully turn us back to the only source of truth left on the planet, our God.
Good bye.
That, the very first sentence of your rant, is so incorrect that there is no need for anyone to read further.
Dang, you’re ignorant, but you sure do have opinions.
If you think oil companies set oil prices, then tell me what those boys on the floor of the NYMEX are doing everyday.
It’s called the free market. Why doesn’t bacon sell for $10 a strip if ranchers set the price?
Here’s a hint: Because they don’t and they can’t.
Sorry you hate business so much. Perhaps if you actually learned something about it, you’d make better posts.
