How bout we start here...
Washington, DC – Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) sent a letter to President Obama, asking him to support legislation that will bring immediate relief to American families and small businesses being crushed by high gas prices. H.R. 2003, the Taxing Speculators Out of the Oil Market Act would target
Wall Street speculators that are responsible for unnecessarily inflating the price of gas up to 80 cents a gallon.
“Wall Street speculators are manipulating the gas market to make massive profits while middle class families are digging deep to pay for skyrocketing gas prices,” DeFazio said. “I asked President Obama to support my legislation to end this unnecessary speculation and bring immediate relief to Americans struggling to fill up their tanks. Congress has a choice. Either it passes legislation that goes after the excessive Wall Street speculation causing these skyrocketing prices or it once again kicks the can down the road with half-measures that only score political points.”

it would be nice to shave 80¢ off a gal. of gas ...naaa, Teapublicons want their share of those profits and to hell with this country. Ask the pot head, he'll tell ya profits are all that matter.
Why should we drill in the Alaska and the Atlantic when that oil is sold on the market and its profits never benefit the U.S.?
Maybe with a law that says the oil is drilled, refined and sold only in the U.S. naaa.... rightwingers want the oil companies to get the most profits for
our oil and to hell the this country. They'll refine it here and we get all the pollution but very little from the billions in profits.
