Oil Prices: a bit of Logic


A Bit of Logic
By John Mollan

Given:  The real decision making process in the Republican Party is made by a small group of immensely wealthy white men at private clubs and functions.

Given:  The most influential members of this group are the owners of multinational firms including the petrochemical industry, the health insurance oligopolies, investment bankers and pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Given:     These people would do absolutely anything to bring President Obama down.

Question:  Do you suppose that the sharp increase in American fuel prices we have witnessed lately is an intentional ploy by the multinational energy corporations to unseat the President?  At the present time, fuel consumption is down, refineries are “closed for maintenance” and the United States is Exporting gasoline.   They certainly have the power to do it!
