People really feel that, when they go to the gas pump now, that the oil cartel is holding them by the legs and tipping them upside down and shaking money out of their pockets.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People pump gas and then they go in the store and pick up some things and pay for them, and they forget to mention the gas.
In addition, for almost a year now I have been urging the President, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Trade Commission to investigate suspicious gas price spikes.
Thousands upon thousands of people across America and many more across the globe are suffering at the hands of the oil and gas industry.
If you look - look at - I mean, look at what's going on with your gasoline prices. They're going to go to $5, $6, $7 and we don't have anybody in Washington that calls OPEC and says, 'Fellas, it's time. It's over. You're not going to do it anymore.'
I think it's a mistake for the American public to constantly be told that if you work for an oil company or you work for a bank, that automatically makes you bad. I think a lot of these people are very qualified people who are patriots. They're going to want to help the country.
Across the country, people are willing to tighten their belts and sacrifice. The president should ask the oil industry to do the same.
Even if gas prices fall, consumers will continue to be gouged at the pump the only thing that we can be sure rises faster that the price of gasoline is the skyrocketing profits of oil companies.
As the price of gas goes up, people will become more conscience of how much they use.
You know how much money the oil companies have? If you need some gas, just go fill your tank off and drive off - they're not going to miss it.
The Federal Reserve - all of them - could be sitting on a barrel of dynamite, and then pouring gasoline on top of it, and then light a cigar with matches, throw the match into the gasoline, and then not notice that there is any danger.
