Well…with all of the appeals to the heads of the oil companies to stop war profiteering falling on deaf ears, it is now time to enact a windfall profits tax to claw back all of the money they’ve stolen not only over the past few months, but the past few years. During the pandemic, we the taxpayers of the US bailed them out to the tune of billions of dollars to ensure that they would not go bankrupt and how do they repay us? By screwing over Americans by raising gas prices, not for any reason other than they can…yeah, I know they couch it in the bullshit of uncertainty and supply and demand, but then why are gas prices still rising when the cost of oil has dropped by over 25% in the past week? I know that downward prices are “sticky” to use an economic term but it is a decision by the CEOs of these companies to not lower prices as they try to wring every damn dime out of the American consumer….there was a time when we could at least shame some of them into doing the right thing, but those times are over with the unbridled greed we see from almost every damn company in the US…I mean they are all reporting record profits and, without greed, prices would be dropping and inflation wouldn’t be a thing…so, if they won’t regulate themselves and do the right thing for the American consumer who make those record profits possible, we need to tax those record incomes and return the money they are stealing to the American people…and do it right now…but you know who doesn’t want that to happen…the repubs since high gas prices can be used to hurt Biden and the dems in the 22 election…and you can bet they don’t give a damn about anything but getting back into power so they can continue to reward these assholes for stealing everything that is not nailed down….and if the regular Americans get hurt, they just don’t care…geez…
