There is a gas station in Nashua that closed just a couple of years ago on Canal street. They never took the prices down when they closed the shop. I think it is < $1.00. I cringe every time I drive by and try not to look.
I have a simple way for congress to protect us from the evil free market oil companies excessive profits.
Make each one of us buy an equivalent ownership in the oil company of our choice that represents our annual usage of gasoline. That way we are all happy when they make a lot and we get it back. Then we send 1/3 to Washington to keep the beast fed.
Does anyone really think that Washington dislikes when corporations make a lot of money and have to pay a lot of taxes. They just have to act outraged and do nothing. Oh wait, that's what they do.
