Default Re: The truth behind those $#@*!# gas prices

Here are some fact's some of you may not know...The USA produces 90% of their own fuel, but yet imports almost 52%...why? Canada is the largest supplier of US oil...but yet we allow Ontario to import 40% from other contries and Quebec needs to import 90% of their oil requirements, as a matter of fact, Quebec just signed a supply deal with Russia, only problem is that the Russian company is run by some flaky individuals that like turning off the valve every now and then. Thanks to NAFTA, Canada is forced to supply the US with almost 70% of it's oil in case of dwindling or threatened global supplies, what does this mean? well, easy...if Ontario and Quebec were sitting in the dark freezing the US would get the oil first before they do...sorry but thats just wrong! In answereing the question relating to why we pay more per US gallon then the americans do is that we pay so much in tax that it could actually be considered as criminally borderline extortion by a corrupt government. Gone are the days of a governement for the people, by the people...sadly it's now a democratic socialist government were being ruled by that lets us speak until we get too loud then shuts the door in your face. End of the day it all boils down to Greed, deception and misinformation.

Government and Big Business are sleeping together and this marriage will not fail until one gets sick of the other, they will be fine, they'll split and divvy up the loot, only ones getting hurt will be all of us kids in the middle.

Thank you Dick Cheney!
