[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1311798, member: 17969"] You are so desperate to blame obama, you continue to leave out the taxes in our state. We CANT all pay the same in the country because of taxes. Your republican Arnold Swarzenegger signed into law, an act that taxes OIL in our state and that law states that a specific amount of money has to be raised through taxes and despite the decline in oil consumption in our state, the taxes continue to GO UP to cover that specific amount. If you want to complain about prices in california, then blame that. Right now, the price at the pump has NOTHING to do with consumption or supply. The traders are trading higher because of the conflict in UKRAINE. Of course, we know this has nothing to do with us, yet, because we allow oil to be traded as a commodity they can raise or lower the price for whatever stupid reason they want to. As for BUSH, lets be serious. The traders under BUSH took oil to 150 dollars a barrel and held it there for YEARS having the price of oil near 5 bucks CRUSHING the us economy. 5 months before the 2008 election, the traders attempted to influence the election and help the GOP by reducing the cost of a barrel of oil to 33 bucks. Every year after that, they have raised it back to 100-ish as their new standard. OPEC has already stated that its the US GREEDY stock market that is forcing the price of oil higher, and they would be completely satisfied with oil at 70 dollars a barrel. OUR greedy wall street is the cause of the rise in oil and until we do something about it, we will always be at the mercy of the oil companies in this country. TOS. [/QUOTE]
