The terrible and disgusting thing is...



that the oil companies have already posted huge increases in profits for the last quarter over the same quarter last year. Are you surprised? Next we'll find that the people behind the food price increases will do the same. They've learned a trick from the oil companies who, after the 'oil crisis' of the 1970's, admitted to the U.S. Congress that it was a manufactured shortage to increase profits. Governments let it continue because they reap huge profits in taxes. It's criminal. We let them do it to us...
