The average price of gasoline has now reached an all time high in the United States at $3.03 per gallon. Higher even than in the Hurricane Katrina aftermath. The recent cease fire and UN agreement between Israel, Lebanon, and the Hizbollah and the recent downgrading of the years predicted hurricanes and gulf coast storms have reduced the risk to the oil industry. There are no foreseen major disruptions or implications to the oil supply in the near future so experts are saying the price of crude oil on the world market should be seeing a large drop over the next few weeks. That’s not to say that George Bush won’t create something again to help his Big Oil friends and campaign contributors.
Over the last few months Americans have been shelling out upwards of $3 per gallon on average and equipped with a stalled and weakening economy this really hits the middle and lower class in the pocket books. To weather the storm, savings have been ravaged and Americans are saving less and carrying more debt than ever. 90 percent of Americans carry debt and the average credit card debt is now well over $10,000. This is in part due to George Bush and his republican view that the middle class needs to disappear.
George Bush has passed laws and paved the way for Big Oil to have its biggest paydays ever. Exxon Mobil and other oil and energy companies are reeling in record profits this year at the expense of the average American. George Bush and the rich don’t feel the squeeze as the middle class does. They use their creative tax write offs, accountants and tax lawyers to whittle away their taxable income to around or below 1 percent on average for the rich and wealthy. The middle class, on the other hand, pays an average 0f 30 to 35 percent of their income in taxes. Is this fair, absolutely not, but since the rich aren’t paying their share of taxes it has to come from somewhere.
Regardless, right now there are no soon foreseen oil commerce problems and so the price of oil and therefore gas at the pumps should be dropping and the American consumer should be seeing a little relief. Just don’t tell George Bush about this or he, Big Oil and his Saudi Friends will find a way to bring the price back up. I don’t see why the government can’t take over the oil industry like they did with USPS, the United States Postal Service and mail delivery. USPS is one of the best run industries in the U.S. and it is still the cheapest method for mail delivery in the states or overseas. IF USPS ran the oil industry in the U.S. gas would be $1.50 or so per gallon. USPS doesn’t charge what the world market price is for mail delivery and shipping it charges a fair price and doesn’t make $12 billion in sick profits and $100 million dollar CEO compensation packages. George Bush could learn a lot from USPS and needs to stop screwing with the middle class and helping out his rich friends.

More political articles: - The Battle Of Puebla And Cinco De Mayo (Robert Nickel)
Why does the United States celebrate every May 5, or Cinco de Mayo? It's only a regional holiday in Mexico, and is often mistaken to be the commemoration of their Independence Day (which is actually in September). The roots of these festivities go back to the French invasion in 1862, and a decisive initial victory against Napoleon III's forces. - The Incredible Work of Benito Juarez (Robert Nickel)
A great deal of Mexico's liberal reforms in the 19th century - the separation of church and state, the proclamation of all citizens as equal in the eyes of the law and the establishment of a market-driven social system, among other things, would not have been possible without the leadership of Benito Juarez. Once an illiterate shepherd, this Zapotec native rose to become a lawyer and eventually ended up involved in some of the most important... - Gift Giving: The Pet Lover (Claire Dimmit)

It might not be a commonly known fact, but Mexico was, at two separate points, a monarchy; each reign lasted less than five years and was filled with revolts, infighting, and puppet rulers. The first Mexican Empire took place shortly after the country won its independence from Spain in 1821, but collapsed less than eight months after its establishment. The second attempt was the result of Napoleon III's invasion in 1862... - All About the Reform Wars (Robert Nickel)
In the years following Mexico's War of Independence, a question arose among the newly freed citizens as to how the newly free nation should be governed. Two ideologies emerged: the liberals wished to establish a democratic, secular government with a constitution similar to that of the United States of America... - Who Was Empress Carlota? (Robert Nickel)
For a very brief period of time in Mexico's long and turbulent history, they were ruled by Emperor Maximilian I and his consort, Empress Carlota. This regime was doomed to end in a bloody manner almost from the start, as they had been crowned after an invasion by France and were stuck in between an unfairly deposed liberal party and the conservative conspirators who disliked their practices. - The Reign And Downfall Of Mexico's Last Emperor (Robert Nickel)
When Napoleon III invaded Mexico in 1862, he had the support of certain members of the country's conservative party. Politically, the republic had been wracked with civil war and disputes over ideological reform, and the Imperialists wished to return to a monarchy. The French put the Austrian Archduke Maximilian on the throne in 1864; his reign lasted just over three years... - What Is Obama Care? (Wrath Warbone)
The Affordable Health Care Act seeks to put an end to the spiarling cost of health care in the United States. - Mitt Romney is the Presumptive GOP Nominee for President (Claire Dimmit)
