Should we take our arms and punish those who are controlling the oil price and plunge our lives into poverty?

Question

should we take our arms and punish those who are controlling the oil price and plunge our lives into poverty?

Answer 1

I bought millions and millions of barrels of oil when they cost $60--$100 a barrel. I expect to make a kill when I sell. But right now it’s only over $140 a barrel. So here is my difficulty :

I have requested my agents spin the media, like: “Oil future looks high, expecting to be in the range of $200 a barrel soon”   But it does not work price up fast enough.

I have paid the mainstream media, the Think Tanks,  and the major PR talking heads,  to spin China and India (supply and demand) responsible for price hike, to deflect American public anger. But that does not go far enough.

Right now, I am extremely nervous and worried. I urgently need a prey to buy those “paper barrels” on my hording. So I can profit.  But where can I find my prey ?  

ADD:

Airline industry has requested and demanded Congress stop oil speculation. I have my lobby on Capitol Hill work the Senators and Congressmen around the clock. But I do not how long they can hold.

Answer 2

the problem is that we believe in a capitalist system which allows profits to be made by the owners

if you agree that our way of life is good, based on capitalism, then why complain when the rest of the world makes money off of us by charging us for the oil they produce?

I am not saying I'm a communist or anything, just that we have to allow others to live the way that we do

I think that the oil producing countries of the Middle East are doing to the West just what the West did to the rest of the world for several hundred years: using them as a source of profit regrdless of how it affects their society or way of life

you should read up on the opium market in China which the British ran for many, many years, or see the film Gandhi which shows how the Indian leader encouraged his people to fight against the British by nor buying their products, which were really Indian products anyway, especially clothing made of Indian cotton shipped to Britain and then shipped back as  finished cloth-- that is why Gandhi was wearing simple "homespun" as he was trying to show the Indian population that they could get by without British cloth if they would spin their own at home or in cottage industries

Answer 3

Answer 4

we should stop supporting so many other countries with our tax dollars and use that money to build the hydrogen fuel cell infrastructure.

Answer 5

um, NO - We should stop driving Redneck-mobiles that guzzle gas, and put our money into finding new ways of energy use!
