you people have got it all wrong the central problem of high gas prices, food prices, house prices is the is the inherent problem of capitalism it self to provide for greed rather than need. Of cousre capitalists will look profit in any they can this will at times take the form of essential commododoties such as food shelter, health and oh yes energy resources when capitlists fail to to make a profit on one essential item they wil speculate on another we saw in the sub prime crises when desperate financial institutions bet on giving people high interest loans to people who were unable to pay them back why not give people housing free? its cheaper for every one. its strange that when times are good these people will boast about a so called free market system untill they are victims of its brutalty. of cousre they expect their lackeys in the state machine to bail them out., leaving poor homlesss workers faceing the cold wind of the market. All capitalism can offer us is hunger,inflation war for enegrgy rescourses,inflation,deflation, stagflation, ressesion and depresion economically and mentally. what we need is a true democracy that cannot exist under capitalisim the democracy of disturbuting rescources fairly not voting for two brands of cola differnt names but essentially the same. sweet and sickily and offering no nutrition caplitalism does not offer us true choice but rationing by money and that money is buying us less and less.
