sounds good :D j/k
but it seems as if we are heading that way one way or another :(
that's no reason to sit down and take it....
Bone's right. Part of the politics of the rising price of crude oil is because they trying to make a move, they want us to open up more areas that are restricted from drilling. It's a political move on behalf of the oil companies to make movements toward what they want. At the same pace, T-top is right. They want to line their pockets. It's the "american dream". Money. Misconceived dreams of success are making money. That's what they want. greengreengreen. However at the same time, we're involved in a never-ending cycle. This of this. As the price of crude oil increases, the price of living increases. The two go hand in hand, because America relies on crude oil. So as we pay more for gas, and food, and everything else, employers are reluctant to raise wages because if they did, more of their profit margin would go toward human resources, and since the raise of retail pricing is directly influenced by the raise of wholesale pricing, there's no increase in profit margin to offset the wage hike. So we've established why we're not seeing any raises or any extra income. But why do the prices keep going up? as a result of the increase in cost of living, the same people who are making the money now are spending more money. To keep the same profit margin on their product, they have to raise prices, which means our prices raise. So if that cycle keeps going, and we aren't making any money, that mean we have less money to spend on our wants (which make up relatively 70% of our economy, as quoted by AP). If that 70% slows up, the economy slows up until it's completely subsidized, people are buying the bare minimum,and we're paying more and more for products which constantly go up, and more people run out of money, default on loans, etc. The poverty rate increases, until we're back into a "caste system" that we're working so hard to get rid of. In the end, the people who are selling the keystone of the economy (crude oil) wind up with the money, while most people go completely broke and bankrupt. All because of oil and greed. It's a never ending cycle. Until someone does something.
Now i'm no expert, but I firmly believe that based on the logic found in the above paragraph, the social issue with crude oil at the moment could very well bring upon the end of the American era in history. Unless somehow someway we act NOW.

He isn't any crazy theory its the truth. I have taken cruises to Ireland and Finland and Russia, they have a higher average income its the truth and they do pay more for gas. So you're the one thats rambling. The sad thign is our nation's average income isn't going up so the gas prices are going to hit harder than other countries.
I'm sorry, but his post was just a spew of opinionated bull****.
This post however, doesn't lack. Its actually readable, imagine that! I don't have to re-read it five times to even try to begin to comprehend it.

They prices are all an attempt to get the people to throw their hands in the air, say "I give up" and allow the oil companies to drill in all those "environmentally protected" areas. If they raise the prices high enough because of this "shortage" (which is BS to begin with, there is no shortage), we wont care about Alaska anymore.

oh yeah **** alaska **** everything, oh you live in texas? welll let's just drill your backyard too so gas prices stay down for a day. we need a REAL solution not a putoff by drilling in a protected area.

The flaw in your logic is you base it on the foundation that oil companies set the prices. They are one part of a complex formula.
The "cycle" you describe is called inflation. It is not a new concept, and it will not be the demise of our economy.
Realistically, this is what will happen. Crude oil will reach a price point where people will cut consumption. Money will flow into alternate energy sources (e.g. people will invest in solar power for their houses). The price of oil will start to fall based on decreased demand. The price will eventually stabilize again.
As long as demand remains the same, the price will keep going up. This system is working as designed.
